title = "Chinese Conjunctions in Second Language Learners{\textquoteright} Written Texts",
abstract = "In Chinese texts, cohesion refers to grammatical or lexical relationships within sentences and texts. Through these relationships, a series of sentences are connected to form unified texts that are intelligible and meaningful. Various studies have found that cohesion is a crucial factor in readability and reading comprehension, and thus have maintained that cohesion in a text influences comprehension [1]. Among the recent studies on Chinese readability [2–5], most have overlooked the function of discourse connectives for better reading comprehension. In this study, five Chinese conjunction types taken from a Chinese Written Corpus (CWC) were analyzed to determine their semantic features and structures and the reasons for learners{\textquoteright} usage errors. The results of this study will contribute to the development of teaching Chinese writing by using Chinese conjunctions to improve learners{\textquoteright} writing abilities.",
