Abstract

As a common linguistic phenomenon in both English and Chinese conversations, discourse markers are parts of information organization in discourse analysis. In conversational communication, the pragmatic function of discourse markers was analyzed under the framework of Relevance Theory for its procedural constraints and speakers’ attitude. In addition, the tentative analysis of conceptual information and truth condition of discourse markers provided a new perspective in discourse analysis.
