DISCOURSE AND DISCURSIVE MARKERS: EXPERIENCE OF LINGUISTIC, TERMINOLOGICAL AND LINGUISTIC-HISTORIOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2022-4-1136
Abstract
Aim. To analyze historical formation of the terms “discourse” and “discursive marker” and their current interpretation.
Methodology. Content analysis, as a key research method, enables the author to study the dictionaries of the linguistic terms as well as the researches devoted to the issues of discourse and discursive markers. The author analyzed the content of the terms, summarized the information and made a number of conclusions.
Results. At the present stage of the development of linguistics, discourse remains a term closely related to the text and speech activity of a person, but its analysis enables the identification of the illocutionary and perlocutionary components of a speech utterance, simultaneously revealing the features of the speaker's cognitive activity. Discursive markers, as units of different speech parts, create "marks" in speech for its more accurate interpretation by the recipient, but do not change the propositional meaning of the utterance, merely supplying it with pragmatic information.
Research implications. The study clarifies the modern terminological interpretation of the two concepts, namely discourse and discursive marker, thereby creating a basis for further analysis of discursive markers functioning in discourse.
