Summarize what you have learned about discourse markers. Tell us how much do you care discourse markers (consciously, unconsciously)when you read English texts?
I have learned about discourse markers in the chapter. Discourse markers are cohesive devices. They help readers to work out the meaning of difficult text. These markers have three main functions. First, they signal the sequence in which reported events occurred. Second, they signal the writer's manner of organizing the discourse. This type of markers function re-expressing, specifying, reffering and so on. Third, discourse markers signal the writer's view of the facts. They contain the fuctions of additive, adversative, causal and disjuncts. I usually give my attention a lot to discourse markers when I read Enlish texts. As I said before, I look over English test fast in the beginnig of reading. While I scan the text, I try to check all discoure marker in the text to understand stream of the text. Checking discourse markers helps me recognize main and supporting ideas and the change of writer's stance about topic. Therefore, I frequnetly use and care discourse markers.
