Abstract:

Discourse markers constitute an important part of linguistic communication,
and research on this phenomenon has been a thriving field of study over the
past three decades. However, a problem that has plagued this research is that
these markers exhibit a number of structural characteristics that are hard to
interpret based on existing methodologies, such as grammaticalization. This
study argues that it is possible to explain such characteristics in a
meaningful way. It presents a cross-linguistic survey of the development of
discourse markers, their important role in communication, and their relation
to the wider context of sociocultural behaviour, with the goal of explaining
their similarities and differences across a typologically wide range of
languages. By giving a clear definition of discourse markers, it aims to
provide a guide for future research, making it essential reading for students
and researchers in linguistics, and anyone interested in exploring this
fascinating linguistic phenomenon.
