Raba tipično govorjenih diskurznih označevalcev na spletu

This article compares the usage of three speech-specific discourse markers in the Gos corpus of spoken Slovenian and the Janes corpus of user-generated content. The results confirm that the online usage of these expressions is much less common than in speech, but nevertheless significant, in particularly in platforms encouraging an interactive or dialogue-like communication. In online discourse, semantic-based functions of the markers prevail, such as relating to the addressee, checking for agreement or alleviating assertion, intertwined with discourse-structuring functions, such as emphasising or turn managing. All three markers also exhibit some new contexts of usage online, such as addressing an unknown/generic addressee, producing a specific stylistic effect and entering into new types of fixed multi-word expressions.
