Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to identify linguistic marks that signal the intentional justification relation in the absence of discourse connectors. Being based on three speeches of N. Sarkozy, the analysis accounts for the justification relation in highly argumentative deliberative discourse. Additionally, the paper addresses the issue of the relationship between discourse relations and intentional relations and raises the question of identifying discourse segments on the basis of the speaker's intentions.
