    Discourse markers are words and phrases that help structure conversations and writing by showing connections between ideas, signaling changes in topics, and expressing attitudes. In both speaking and writing, discourse markers help manage discourse and indicate fluency. They join ideas, show turns in conversation, and generally control the flow of communication. Examples in writing include words like "furthermore," "however," and "in conclusion" that help organize arguments and link different parts of a discussion.

    Discourse markers

    Discourse markers are words and phrases used in speaking and writing to 'signpost' discourse. Discourse markers do this by showing turns,
    joining ideas together, showing attitude, and generally controlling communication. In speech, words like 'actually', 'so', 'OK', 'right?' and 'anyway'
    all function as discourse markers as they help the speaker to manage the conversation and mark when it changes. However, discourse markers
    are an important feature of both spoken & written English. The skilful use of discourse markers often indicates a higher level of fluency in both
    spoken and written English.
