In a text, words and phrases appear linked by connectors or connectors speech.
The connectors are, well, words or expressions that are used to define the relationship between various segments of a text linguistic - Sequenced ideas and establish links between them.
The correct use of connectors allows for more textual cohesion and involves an easier understanding of the overall text.
The connectors belong to various classes of words - Conjunctions (or phrases conjunctive) coordinated and subordinated, adverb (or adverbial phrases), prepositions (or prepositional phrases), adjective phrases or even complete sentences.

For the speech has coherence, a key factor is its suitability to a situation (situational context).
The two elements involved in the production of any statement - speaker and interlocutor - is part of a decisive time and space and share (or not) from a reference population - the extra-linguistic world:
I will return there tomorrow to buy what you know.
It is from the triangle - I / here / now - it establishes a later (tomorrow), a particular place (there) in a given universe of reference shared by the interlocutor (what you know.)
The deíctos - Greek deixis (mostração). Terms that are not worth taking a proper approach, used to place a statement in relation to time, space, subjects and different circumstances of enunciation, given thus coherence to the text.

Deícticos to determine the spatial relationship of proximity to relatively greater or lesser role played by the speaker. | Relates to the use of the moment of enunciation (NOW) as a benchmark for the location. Time is nature deíctica: present, past and future are not absolute concepts, are related to the moment of enunciation. | Refers to any circumstances evident in contexts shared by speakers. |

During the next days I will talk a bit about the spelling mistakes we usually make the day-to-day. Not that I write without making mistakes, but so is a way to remember what I learned in the course of Portuguese and clarify some minds.
They know what my big dream?? Be actress.
