Research of Politeness In Discursive Markers in Accordance with G. Leech’s Principles of Politeness
In speech communication discursive markers are a universally occurring linguistic phenomenon. The presence or absence of discursive markers does not affect the verity of the discourse, but there are many pragmatic functions in communication, such as discourse construction, interpersonal discussions, and meta-pragmatic functions. The article analyses the properties of discursive markers, based on G. Leech’s principle of politeness (1983). Thus, the purpose of the article is to show the significance of discursive markers in speech communication.
