“Well, you know, it´s like… I don´t know!” Analyzing oral discourse markers: approaches and methods
Pascale LECLERCQ
Discourse markers are frequent linguistic markers that are often polyfunctional: depending on context and speaker preferences, they take on different meanings and discourse functions (among others, gaining time to plan the rest of the message, increasing fluency, signalling the beginning or the end of a speaking turn…) They have been extensively studied in native speaker data from a large variety of theoretical perspectives, and they have also been studied as markers of linguistic development: to what extent do learners of English as a second language use them the same way as native speakers?
In this course, we will provide a definition of discourse markers, then take a functional and pragmalinguistic approach (i.e., the study of the linguistic resources used to convey a pragmatic meaning) to discover what native speakers and learners mean when they use discourse markers. We will focus on a restricted set of frequent discourse markers (I think, I don’t know, like). A range of approaches and methods of analysis, including functional, interactional and multimodal approaches, will be presented, to analyze various components of discourse marker use in oral discourse (prosody, gaze, gestures, and discourse functions). Examples will be taken from native speaker and learner corpora.
Through this course, you will learn about existing research on discourse markers, compile your own dataset and apply new theoretical concepts for data analysis. You will present your research orally.
