About this book
This book explores the use of discourse markers - lexical items where drawing a distinction between propositional and non-propositional, syntactically-semantically integrated and discourse-pragmatic uses is especially relevant. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, descriptive and critical (CDA) perspectives, and manual annotation and automatized analyses, the author argues that Discourse Markers (DMs) cannot be effectively studied in isolation, but must instead be contextualised with reference to other discourse-pragmatic devices and their language and genre backgrounds. This book will be of interest to students and academics working in the fields of DM research and critical discourse studies, and will also appeal to scholars working in areas such as genre studies, second language acquisition (SLA), literary analysis, contemporary cinematography, Tolkien scholarship, and Bible studies.
Reviews
“This volume contains rigorous empirical study which focuses on technical aspects of discourse annotation, whilst also crossing over with critical approaches in Discourse Studies. The book is likely to become a standard reference in research on discourse markers and especially their relevance to Critical Discourse Analysis. Thorough in its analytical grasp and broad in its thematic scope, this book is amust-read for researchers of Discourse Studies, as well as discourse analysis, pragmatics and discourse marker research.” (Ildikó Vaskó, Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary)
