Discourse markers

Discourse markers are words and phrases used in speaking and writing to ‘signpost’ discourse. Discourse markers do this by showing turns,
joining ideas together, showing attitude, and generally controlling communication. In speech, words like ‘actually’, 'so', 'OK', 'right?' and 'anyway'
all function as discourse markers as they help the speaker to manage the conversation and mark when it changes. However, discourse markers
are an important feature of both spoken & written English. The skilful use of discourse markers often indicates a higher level of fluency in both
spoken and written English.
