These discoursemarkers indicate the parts/chapters of the book, helping readers recognize how thereview (and ultimately, the book) is organized:[C#2] (Sub-function 7) Following a brief introduction, the second chapter is areview of elementary surface thermodynamics. Brief overviews are given... Thenext chapter is a brief review of ... Chapter 4 begins with an elementary reviewof the Fowler and Guggenheim lattice treatment of monolayers... Chapter 5 issimilar, but for polymers and proteins at surfaces...Fick's law is applied todiffusion and surface adsorption and desorption kinetics in chapter 6. The nexttwo chapters review pressure –– area isotherm experiments on monolayers oflipid –– protein mixtures and membrane proteins, principally mellitin andvalinomycin. The final two chapters are principally applications: Langmuir-Blodgett films — their construction, molecular organization, and electricalproperties — and foams and immobilized biomolecules.Text connectives bear some relation to the term ‘continuatives’ used by Hallidayand Hasan (1976:267) to refer to cohesive devices that function to list items appearing insequence in a book: The next/following, first/second chapter; Part one/two/three, etc.The similarities between both terms rely on the idea of conjunctive relations (ibid.: 227)in that they signal a relationship of sequence between items that are not related by otherstructural means in discourse. The difference from traditional discourse conjuncts likeFirstly..., secondly..., thirdly..., is that text connectives here refer to nouns like ‘part’(Part one begins with...) or ‘chapter’ (In the following chapter...) as elements of a set
