Résumé
ABSTRACT. This study focuses on the impact of linguistic markers of coherence
on the comprehension of expository discourse. The impact of such markers
on comprehension (i.e. off-line) is a highly controversial topic in current
studies, especially for connectives for which a facilitating as well as an
interfering role has been demonstrated. As a matter of fact, it seems that
connectives facilitate the comprehension process in that they improve the
reading process, but that they do not increase comprehension of the text. It
might even be possible that they ease the reading task in such a way that
they provide the reader with the “impression” of having understood the text
instead of a real understanding. The objective of the experiment was to test
this far reaching hypothesis for the use of connectives in expository texts.
We wanted to determine the impact of causal connectives such as because
(‘parce que’) and so (‘donc’) on comprehension and on the feeling of
understanding, contrasting it with the impact of anaphoric expressions.
Contrary to previous results, our experiment shows that the presence of
connectives actually improved comprehension while it did not have an
impact on the feeling of understanding.
