Discourse markers constitute an important part of linguistic
communication, and research on this phenomenon has been a thriving
field of study over the past three decades. However, a problem that
has plagued this research is that these markers exhibit a number of
structural characteristics that are hard to interpret based on
existing methodologies, such as grammaticalization. This study
argues that it is possible to explain such characteristics in a
meaningful way. It presents a cross-linguistic survey of the
development of discourse markers, their important role in
communication, and their relation to the wider context of
sociocultural behaviour, with the goal of explaining their
similarities and differences across a typologically wide range of
languages. By giving a clear definition of discourse markers, it
aims to provide a guide for future research, making it essential
reading for students and researchers in linguistics, and anyone
interested in exploring this fascinating linguistic phenomenon.
