By combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches in the study of pragmatic markers, innovative findings are reached about their distribution throughout the period 1500-1760, their attestation in different speech-related text types as well Pragmatics & Beyond New SeriesEnglish languageEarly modern, 1500-1700Discourse analysisEnglish languageSpoken EnglishDiscourse markersPragmaticsSpeech acts (Linguistics)Electronic books.English languageDiscourse analysis.English languageSpoken English.Discourse markers.Pragmatics.Speech acts (Linguistics)420.1/41Lutzky Ursula960770MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463154703321Discourse markers in Early Modern English2178017UNINA
