Discourse markers, the particles and the connectives, perform important functions in conversation, and have called for the rigorous analysis which this study provides. The approach is interdisciplinary, with a comparative analysis of markers within conversational discourse.
The core of the book is a comparative analysis of markers within conversational discourse collected by Dr. Schiffrin during sociolinguistic fieldwork. The study concludes that markers provide contextual coordinates which aid in the production and interpretation of coherent conversation at both local and global levels of organization.
