摘　　要：话语标记语广泛应用于人类的各种语言交际中,在人们的日常生活中几乎无处不在。作为一种语言手段,话语标记语不参与命题的表达,但有助于话语的组织,表达说话人的语气、态度和情感,同时影响听话人对话语的理解。话语标记语的研究起源于20世纪70年代,很多学者对话语标记语进行了系统研究。它在会话交流中具有重要的语用功能,并受到国内外学者的关注。迄今为止,话语标记语三大功能及关联理论已经被众多学者应用于不同的篇章分析之中。本文基于特蕾莎·梅的50篇公开演讲词,探究话语标记语在不同语篇中的语用功能,例如,暗示事情发展顺序、促进语篇连贯、强调特定信息、丰富文本内容、暗示作者观点、推动人际互动。这些讨论与分析揭示出英国前首相特蕾莎·梅的演讲词具有较强的逻辑性、说服力、感染力。Discourse markers exist pervasively in people’s daily life. Being a language device, they cannot convey propositional meanings, but they can affect the speakers’ expression of tone, attitude and and emotion as well as the listeners’ understanding of the discourse. The researches on discourse markers started in 1970s, and up to now, more and more linguists and scholars have carried out systematic researches on them, so as to explore their pragmatic functions in people’s communication. The three major functions of discourse markers and the relevance theory have been applied by many scholars to analyze the function of markers in different linguistic discourses. This paper engages in analyzing the functions of discourse makers in the public speeches made by Theresa May, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Based on 50 public speeches, the authors discuss the functions of discourse markers, such as keeping the order of ideas and the coherence of a discourse, emphasizing certain information and enriching the content of a discourse, indicating the speaker’s viewpoint and promoting interpersonal interaction. Form the above discussion and analysis, we can see that Theresa May’s speeches have strong logic, persuasion and appeal.
