Inferencias relacionales y valores culturales en el estudio de los marcadores del discurso

In a previous study, I have approached empirically a group of conversational discourse markers (DMs) which may act as inferential clues for rapport management in supporting the speakers” emotional communicative dynamics. In this study, on another hand, while elaborating theoretically on the same data, I focus on some methodological issues in the field of contrastive and interpersonal pragmatics with the aim of supporting an interdisciplinary functional approach to conversational DMs.
