المستخلص:	This paper uses a sample of written discourse from Book Reviews and Editorials as a means of exploring the interface in the use of Contrastive Discourse Markers (henceforth CDMs).The written sample yields differences in the use of contrastive linkers. The frequency of CDMs use is higher for Book Reviews for almost every category. The difference reflects a general contrast between the two types of discourse. The study also attempts to relate such a difference to the features of context of situation. Newspaper editorials highly value the economy of space and time which brings it near to automaticity in speech. The striking example is in the use of (but) which suggests a degree of spontaneity. In addition, editorials are constrained by what your interlocutor puts forward. Conversely, book reviewers put their arguments with a certain frame intending to present a line of reasoning in a solid gradual manner, supported by evidence and axioms. The corrections of a particular stance must be made very clear and enhanced by the use of discourse markers.
