Abstract:

Discourse particles, discourse markers and pragmatic markersrefer to phenomena that linguists have begun to probe only since themid-1980s. Long-ignored in traditional linguistics and textbook grammars,and still relegated to marginal status in South Slavic, these linguisticphenomena have emerged as invaluable devices for cutting-edge theories ofthe semantics/pragmatics interface. This book, which is a pioneering studyin such linguistic phenomena in South Slavic languages, is also among thefirst of its kind for a related group of languages. It builds on the recentfindings of some of the most influential linguistically-oriented theories,such as Relevance Theory, Argumentation Theory and coherence-basedapproaches to explain the meaning and use of certain discourse/pragmaticparticles/markers in Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian andSlovene. These particles/markers are part of the contemporary andhistorical lexicons of the South Slavic languages, varying across regionsand time, but also differing in origin. This book, which draws fromnaturally occurring data, written media and constructed examples, aims at awider audience including scholars working in semantics/pragmatics andSlavic languages, and applied specialists interested in this area ofresearch. The authors hope that this book will be conceived as a startingpoint for a structured inquiry into the flourishing field of discourseparticles in South Slavic.
