Diskursne oznake u medijskim izjavama Bosanskohercegovačkih Političara
Discourse Markers in Media Statements of Bosnian-Herzegovinian Politicians

Summary/Abstract: Living in a complex country such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, where politicians are one of the most influential people, we shall try to make analysis of those politicians’ media statements, but from the linguistic point of view. e emphasis will be put on the usage of discourse markers in the statements in which politicians commented demonstrations held in all bigger cities in February, 2014. We shall also make the comparison with the markers used in the political discourse of the English speaking area. e introductory part will give theoretical hypotheses on the usage of discourse markers in Croatian and English, their function and the basic purpose. We shall try to prove that they are used very often in the political discourse in order to draw attention of collocutors to what they want to say or point out. e final chapters will give the statistical analysis of the mentioned markers usage and authors’ conclusions about which markers were used the most by BiH politicians, did they use them more or less than politicians from the English speaking area and did they manage to draw attention of demonstrators and other people who followed their statements in the media.
