The aim of this volume is to bring together researchers interested
in investigating the role that Discourse Markers play in language
production and comprehension from an experimental or corpus-based
perspective. In any kind of human communication, Discourse Markers
are part of the game. This omnipresence informs us of a crucial
inherent aspect of human language. Yet, as a linguistic category,
Discourse Markers remain underdetermined. To gain deeper insight
into this complex linguistic category, more systematic work is
needed on the production and on the interpretation of Discourse
Markers in a variety of situational settings, resorting to
different methodological approaches. The contributions in this
volume aim at drawing more attention to the double face of
Discourse Markers, namely as signals intentionally used by the
speaker to facilitate the addressee's interpretation of the
discourse, but also as potential traces of the speaker's production
difficulties. The combination of experimental and corpus-based
approaches and the focus on processing of Discourse Markers in both
production and comprehension makes this volume a unique
contribution in answering the question why we use Discourse Markers
in certain situations, but also when we do not.
