Meeting Description:
Pragmatic Markers, Discourse Markers and Modal Particles: What do we know and where do we go from here?
Università dell'Insubria, Como (Italy), 16-17 October 2014
Description:
The workshop aims to contribute to the discussion on the emergence and use of pragmatic markers (PMs), discourse markers (DMs) and modal particles (MPs). Although classifications diverge in this field, PMs can be broadly defined as markers of functions belonging to the domains of social cohesion (the H-S relationship; e.g. please, danke, etc.), DMs as strategies ensuring textual cohesion (discourse managing; e.g. utterance initial usages of but, anyway, etc.), and MPs as signals of personal stance (the speaker’s perspective towards the discourse and the interlocutor; e.g. German ja, eben etc.). PMs, DMs, and MPs have been the object of extensive investigation. However, their heterogeneous character – i.e. the fact that they derive from many different sources, and that they are multifunctional – has resulted in fragmentary descriptions that fit well the facts of a given language, but may be seriously challenged when one extends the analysis to other languages.
