Abstract

Within the framework proposed by Borzi (2001 and 2010), we argue that coordination/subordination binary schemes (defined a priori and whose deficiencies the concept of interordination attempts to resolve) are not pertinent to attest the existing relationship in the causal period because this is the result of the degrees of discursive coherence/continuity that exist between the clauses that constitute it.The present article proposes to study the type of syntactical relationship that is established between causal clauses introduced by pues (then) and the other clause of the period in Alberdi’s discourse in relation to the following parameters: a) topic continuity between the connected clauses, b) information distribution, c) iconicity of the order of the  clauses in relation to the order of the facts and d) rhetoric function of both clauses.
