. Pragmatic Markers
Pragmatics is defined as the study of actual utterances; the study of use rather than meaning (Lyons, 1977:171). It is also defined as the study of that part of meaning which is not purely truth-conditional or the study of performance rather than competence (Levinson, 1983: 32). Yule (1996: 3) introduces yet another definition to pragmatics; it is the study of the intended meaning of speech acts, i.e., the study of the speaker's meaning.
Fraser (1990: 387) has proposed that there are four different subtypes of expressions that contribute to non-truth-conditional meaning (called pragmatic markers): Basic Markers, which indicate the force of the intended message; Commentary Markers, which comment on the basic message; Parallel Markers, which “encode an entire message … separate and additional to the basic and/or commentary message(s)”; and Discourse Markers which only have what Fraser calls procedural meaning, signaling how the basic message relates to the prior discourse.
