The Role Of Discourse Markers In The Languages Of The Developed World
Keywords:
Discourse markers, pragmatics, speech coherenceAbstract
In this article, the formation, functional characteristics, and role of discourse markers in the languages of the developed world—specifically English, French, Russian, and Turkish—are analyzed. Discourse markers constitute the pragmatic layer of the language system and play an important role in ensuring coherence, logical connectedness, and emotional tone in speech. Based on comparative–pragmatic and cognitive approaches, the study elucidates the functions of markers in various contexts, their semantic loads in texts and interaction, and their cross-cultural differences. The article also employs advances in modern corpus linguistics to statistically analyze the frequency of use of markers in developed languages and their role in shaping speech strategies. The findings help identify both the universal and national characteristics of discourse units within the global language system.
