EKSPLIKATIVNI KONEKTORI U ZNANSTVENOM STILU HRVATSKOGA JEZIKA
EXPLICATIVE CONNECTIVES IN THE CROATIAN SCIENTIFIC REGISTER

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the use of explicative connectives as cohesive devices in the Croatian scientific register, where a logical organization of the contents is necessary. Explicative connectives are particularly suitable for the scientific register because they open the path to structures that explain, justify or generalize the previous contents. Using examples from Croatian linguistic journals, this paper focuses on the function of various explicative connectives (such as odnosno, to jest, naime, zapravo, drugim riječima, točnije rečeno), the frequency of each connector, and their role in the organization of a text’s structure.
