Communicative Functions Of Discourse Markers In Modern Journalism
Keywords:
Discourse marker, speech marker, linguopragmatics, communicative functionAbstract
This article examines the notion of discourse markers (DMs) and their communicative functions in contemporary Uzbek journalism. DMs are lexical items that do not add propositional content but structure discourse, guide interpretation, and manage interaction (e.g., shunday qilib “thus/so,” demak “therefore,” aytgancha “by the way,” darhaqiqat “indeed,” aslida “in fact”). Building on international and local scholarship (Schiffrin, Fraser; Mamadjanova, Safoyeva), the paper clarifies the distinction between discourse and pragmatic markers, outlines a functional typology, and analyzes authentic examples from news reports, analytical essays, blogs, and social media posts. Findings show that judicious use of DMs enhances cohesion, organizes information flow, signals stance, and fosters a conversational tone appropriate to genre and audience. Overuse, however, may create an impression of informality or weaken professional style.
