Relevance and Linguistic Meaning
Theimportanceofdiscoursemarkers(wordssuchas‘so’,‘however’and‘well’)
lies in the theoretical questions they raise about the nature of discourse and
the relationship between linguistic meaning and context. They are regarded
as central to semantics because they raise problems for standard theories of
meaning, and to pragmatics because they seem to play a role in the way
discourse is understood. In this new and important study, Diane Blakemore
argues that attempts to analyse these expressions within standard semantic
frameworks raise even more problems, while their analysis as expressions that
link segments of discourse has led to an unproductive and confusing exercise
in classification. She concludes that the exercise in classification that has dom-
inated discourse marker research should be replaced by the investigation of
the way in which linguistic expressions contribute to the inferential processes
involved in utterance understanding.
