K emotivnosti diskurzních markerů ve spontánní mluvené komunikaci
On the emotionality of discourse markers in spontaneous spoken communication

Summary/Abstract: The characteristics of the so-called discourse markers play an important role in the stylistic analysis of spontaneous spoken communication. The term discourse markers refers to the group of synsemantic words (or their collocations) that convey primarily pragmatic information. When describing discourse markers, their polyfunctionality is always emphasized. Discourse markers can perform a variety of (textual and interaction-related) functions, depending on the context, their structural position in the utterance, and especially their sound modifications. The article is based on the analysis of discourse markers in terms of their expressive and emotional functions. The use of discourse markers to express the speaker’s emotional attitudes is connected with three processes: sound modification, multiplication (repetition), and cumulation (formation of multiwords markers). The main source of language material for the research was the corpus of contemporary spoken Czech ORAL v1.
