A Corpus-Driven Study Of Contrastive Markers In Cantonese‒English Political Interpreting-Figure 4. The Frequency Of Different Source Segments Of "But" In The Cantonese Sub-Corpus

Likewise, Figure 4 lists all the Cantonese source segments of but and their frequency. The results show that most of the use of but was contributed by daan (hai) — its closest equivalence in Cantonese. However, there were 52 instances of the use of but which corresponded to no source segments at all in the Cantonese sub-corpus, indicating, again, the possibility of explicitation. The rest of the 16 instances of but were attributed by the use of the Cantonese markers ji (而 (frequency=8; close in meaning to however and but, indicating concession or contrast), followed by bat gwo (frequency=7) and koek (卻 (frequency=1; close in meaning to however and but, indicating concession or contrast).
