  Pragmatic markers are multifunctional and this can make it difficult to describe their meaning and potential. This book looks at pragmatic markers in a corpus of spoken English, with a focus on the functions performed by the markers in different types of text. It explores the syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and discourse aspects of the markers.
