摘　　要：本文探讨英语中的话语标记语。话语标记语不含命题意义,只有程序意义,即它们对话语的命题真假性不产生影响。话语标记语主要体现了两种功能:语篇功能和人际功能。其中语篇功能又可分为局部语篇功能和整体语篇功能。话语标记语的使用让话语或语篇的连贯性得到明示,将话语单元在各个层面上可能存在的联系关系展现出来,给受话人提供理解的指引。The article explores the functions of discourse markers in English. Discourse markers do not have propositional meaning. Instead, they have only procedural meaning, which has no effects on the real conditions of propositions. Discourse markers can be further divided into microscopic discourse markers and macroscopic ones. The former connects intra-sentential relationships, while the latter inter-sentential and inter-paragraph relationships. The textural and interpersonal functions of discourse markers are worthy of discourse receiver＇s attention.
