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.
