A discourse marker can loosely be defined as an item such as well or now , coming at the beginning of an utterance and marking a boundary between one part of spoken discourse and the next, signalling the start of a new section of the discourse. They perform important functions in conversation -- but defining discourse markers is problematic in itself. The syntactic approach employed in this book to describe discourse markers is Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) which is relevant in a theory of Continuum studies in theoretical linguistics.Discourse markersDiscourse analysisSociolinguisticsDiscourse markers.Discourse analysis.Sociolinguistics.401.41Urgelles-Coll Miriam522743MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910140602403321Syntax and semantics of discourse markers825628UNINA
