This book explores the use of discourse markers - lexical items
where drawing a distinction between propositional and
non-propositional, syntactically-semantically integrated and
discourse-pragmatic uses is especially relevant. Using a
combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies,
descriptive and critical (CDA) perspectives, and manual annotation
and automatized analyses, the author argues that Discourse Markers
(DMs) cannot be effectively studied in isolation, but must instead
be contextualised with reference to other discourse-pragmatic
devices and their language and genre backgrounds. This book will be
of interest to students and academics working in the fields of DM
research and critical discourse studies, and will also appeal to
scholars working in areas such as genre studies, second language
acquisition (SLA), literary analysis, contemporary cinematography,
Tolkien scholarship, and Bible studies.

This book focuses on the multifarious aspects of 'fuzzy boundaries'
in the field of discourse studies, a field that is marked by
complex boundary work and a great degree of fuzziness regarding
theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and the use of linguistic
categories. Discourse studies is characterised by a variety of
theoretical frameworks and disciplinary fields, research
methodologies, and lexico-grammatical categories. The contributions
in this book explore some of the nuances and implications of the
fuzzy boundaries in these areas, resulting in a wide-reaching
volume which will be of interest to students and scholars of
discourse studies in fields including sociology, linguistics,
international relations, philosophy, literary criticism and
anthropology.
