Summary/Abstract: The aim of the analysis is to investigate how connectors contribute to the relations of contrast in the texts concerning one of the fields of handicraft, i.e. baking and confectionery. We will examine the characteristic features of selected connectors and compare these mechanisms in French and Polish texts. The first part of the study contains a short overview of the current research on connectors in French and Polish literature. In the second part, we present a comparable corpus including original French and Polish texts: collective labour agreements and statutes in the field of baking-confectionery. In the final, third part of the article, we conduct a comparative analysis of selected connectors showing the relation of contrast (French mais and Polish ale).
