Abstract

This article presents, from a linguistic pragmatic method perspective, how the δέ particle is used as a copulative conjunction in the narrative process of Ac 2,1-13, contributing both in its cadence, as well as in the construction of the process of the strategy of the author whose purpose is to perform, laying the foundations for the condition of fortune, in his language in the affirmation of the existence of a new reality inaugurated with the Pentecost event.
