Meeting Description:
Pragmatic Markers, Discourse Markers and Modal
Particles: What do we know and where do we go
from here?
Università dell'Insubria, Como (Italy), 16-17
October 2014
Description:
The workshop aims to contribute to the
discussion on the emergence and use of
pragmatic markers (PMs), discourse markers
(DMs) and modal particles (MPs). Although
classifications diverge in this field, PMs can
be broadly defined as markers of functions
belonging to the domains of social cohesion
(the H-S relationship; e.g. please, danke,
etc.), DMs as strategies ensuring textual
cohesion (discourse managing; e.g. utterance
initial usages of but, anyway, etc.), and MPs
as signals of personal stance (the speaker’s
perspective towards the discourse and the
interlocutor; e.g. German ja, eben etc.). PMs,
DMs, and MPs have been the object of extensive
investigation. However, their heterogeneous
character – i.e. the fact that they derive from
many different sources, and that they are
multifunctional – has resulted in fragmentary
descriptions that fit well the facts of a given
language, but may be seriously challenged when
one extends the analysis to other
languages.
