화용표지에 관한 연구 = On Pragmatic Markers

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Pragmatic marker are an essential means by which speakers and hearers achieve cohesion and coherence in the developing discourse. Pragmatic markers have attracted a lot of research recently for the analysis of discourse.
Levison(1983) only mentioned that pragmatic markers indicated the relationship between an utterance and prior discourse and their examples were utterance-initial usages of but, therefore, actually and etc. He, however, did not generalize pragmatic markers beyond brief comments. Since then most of researchers such as Schourup(1985), Schffrin(1987), and Jucker(1990) have concentrated on the limited functions and numbers of individual markers. In other words, they did not deal with a whole range of pragmatic markers, especially the classification of markers. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to generalize pragmatic markers including the classification of them and to refine the understanding of their area.
Pragmatic markers not only work as contextual coordinates, but also function as speaker's and hearer's exchange of topic shift and local, global actions of topic continuing, which can make them occur in utterance-initial, sometimes medial and final positions in the speech events. As they are related to the speech situation, and not to the situation talked about, they do not affect the truth conditions of an utterance and do not add nothing to the propositional context, which can cause them to be deleted and to have an independent occurrence from the proposition.
Pragmatic markers as an expression of speaker's emotion, attitude, comment, and information must cover well, you know, I mean, you see as well as interjection, all of which Fraser(1990) excluded from his classification. The characteristic connection of one utterance to other utterances including these markers can be classified as follows: enumerative, reinforcing, equative, contrastive, summative, resultive, replacive, inferential, concessive, disjunctive, transitional conjunctive, evocative, responsive and informational markers. Pragmatic markers are linguistic expression which enriches our insights into understanding of interaction between speakers and hearers.
