Sažetak
Writing is difficult to master, and is thus unpopular among students (Nan, 2020). Conjunctive adverbs help the proper arrangement and good structure of a written composition. This article presents how frequently conjunctive adverbs are used by students of the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula (UNIPU corpus) in their English language academic writing compared to the native speakers’ academic writing found in the British Academic Written English (BAWE) corpus. It also shows the most commonly used types of conjunctive adverbs discourse functions. After conducting the analysis of the two corpora of students’ academic writing, conclusions were reached about the frequency of conjunctive adverbs used and the difference in the discourse function types used in the two corpora. Finally, advice is given on how to improve the use of conjunctive adverbs by Croatian students.
