A pilot study on the use of discourse markers in the oral discourse of language learners of Spanish Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Domains and functions : a two-dimensional account of discourse markers Universiteit Gent
Cross-linguistic variation in spoken discourse markers : distribution, functions, and domains Universiteit Gent
This chapter aims to analyze the variation in use and functions of a broad bottom–up selection of discourse markers across four languages from different typological families, namely French and Spanish (Romance), English (Germanic), and Polish (Slavic). Such an endeavor requires that we not only overcome issues of definition and delimitation of the discourse marker category but also design an annotation model encompassing their full functional ...
The Use of Discourse Markers in Spanish Language Learners’ Written Compositions Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The present paper reports on the use of discourse markers in short compositions written by Spanish language learners. The aim is to explore how frequently discourse markers appear in written productions of foreign language learners and to verify which kind of markers they mostly use. A learner corpus of approximately 26 500 words has been compiled for this study. By comparing the results of the language learners with the texts composed by a ...

It builds on Lenk’s (1998) distinction between local and global scope of discourse markers and maps it with annotation variables available in existing corpora. Given the interplay of syntactic and semantic-pragmatic variables that a direct approach to scope involves, it is argued that indirect and independent cues (namely position ...
Crosslinguistic data as evidence in the grammaticalization debate: the case of discourse markers Universiteit Gent
This article examines two case studies of cognate expressions in English and in French, which have developed partly in the same and partly in different directions. One case is the pair actually: actuellement, the other is the set in fact: en fait/de fait/au fait. Monolingual research on their present-day meanings and the study of their translation paradigms bring to light semantic and pragmatic overlap as well as differences between the members ...
