Marking Discourse - Towards an Integrated Model of Discourse Spaces
Marking Discourse - Towards an Integrated Model of Discourse Spaces

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the first part of the paper is to consider possible ways of categorising and mapping the functional spectrum of discourse markers as well as to propose a model of discourse spaces, which, it is my hope, reflects the wide range of macro- and micro functions DMs fulfill as well as the multi- and interdisciplinary nature of DM research. In the second part, I illustrate two of the possible applica tions of the proposed model: (1) its usefulness in mapping the functional spectrum of the English DM oh, (2) the utility of the model for the contrastive analysis of English oh and Hungarian ó.
