Multimodal Pragmatic Markers of Feedback in Dialogue
Historically, the field of discourse marker research has moved from relying on intuition to more and more ecological data, with written, spoken, and now multimodal corpora available to study these pervasive pragmatic devices. For some topics, video is necessary to capture the complexity of interactive phenomena, such as feedback in dialogue. Feedback is the process of communicating engagement, alignment, and affiliation (or lack thereof) to the o…
Discourse Markers as Cues for Topic Shift Interpretation
Despite the complex terminological panorama regarding discourse markers (hereafter DMs) and the elusiveness of the notion of discourse topic, the relationship between these linguistic phenomena is a long-standing one. Descriptions linking the two are present in early work on DMs and are still the subject of ongoing discussion. Often, however, these characterisations, which present certain DMs as cues for topic management in interaction, are made …
Feedback quality and divided attention
While studies have shown the importance of listener feedback in dialogue, we still know little about the factors that impact its quality. Feedback can indicate either that the addressee is aligning with the speaker (i.e. ‘positive’ feedback) or that there is some communicative trouble (i.e. ‘negative’ feedback). This study provides an in-depth account of listener feedback in task-oriented dialogue (a director–matcher game), where positive and neg…
Studying Discourse from Corpus and Experimental Data
This paper starts from the observation that in discourse analysis, unlike in other fields of linguistics, very few studies combine corpus-based and experimental data. It seeks to understand the reasons behind this methodological monism by taking into account the specificities of the discourse level and the benefits and drawbacks of each method. In the first part of the paper, challenges facing the combination of corpora and experimentation are de…
Crosslinguistic paths of pragmatic development
Diachronic studies of discourse markers suggest they follow a unidirectional developmental path, from propositional to textual and expressive uses. The present study tests whether children acquire the propositional (literal) before the expressive (pragmatic) functions of two adversative discourse markers in French and English, which have similar core meanings and pragmatic functions. Our results partially confirm the propositional-first hypothesi…
The syntax and semantics of coherence relations
This corpus-based study investigates the inter-relation between discourse markers (DMs) and other contextual signals that contribute to the interpretation of coherence relations. The objectives are three-fold: (i) to provide a comprehensive and systematic portrait of the syntax and semantics of a set of coherence relations in English; (ii) to draw a distinction between mere tendencies of co-occurrence and strong predictive signals; (iii) to ident…
Can filled pauses be represented as linguistic items? Investigating the effect of exposure on the perception and production of um
The current paper presents three studies that investigated the effect of exposure on the mental representations of filled pauses ( um/uh). In Study 1, a corpus analysis identified the frequency of co-occurrence of filled pauses with words located immediately before or after them in naturalistic spoken adult British English (BNC2014). Based on the collocations identified in Study 1, in Study 2, 22 native British English-speaking adults heard sente…
The dual status of filled pauses
The present corpus study aims to contribute to the debate regarding the lexical or non-lexical status of filled pauses. Although they are commonly associated with hesitation, disfluency, and production difficulty, it has also been argued that they can serve more fluent communicative functions in discourse (e.g., turn-taking, stance-marking). Our work is grounded in a usage-based and discourse-functional approach to filled pauses, and we address t…
A Contrastive View of Discourse Markers. Discourse Markers of Saying in English and French, written by Lansari, Laure
This book offers a cross-linguistic, multi-dimensional description of a set of four discourse markers (henceforth DM s) involving a verbum dicendi, namely on va dire and j'allais dire in French and shall we say and I was going to say in English. By combining two major linguistic approaches, the author provides a comprehensive and fine-grained analysis of these expressions on the basis of samples extracted from web corpora, to show the differences…
Negation Cancels Discourse-Level Processing Differences
Seminal studies on negation revealed that negative sentences are difficult to process, as they require an extra mental step. Similarly, at the discourse level, concession has been repeatedly shown to be more complex than other relations such as result because it implies the denial of an inference. The affinity between negation and concession prompted the present study to test whether overt verb polarity would affect the processing of upcoming dis…

When Do We Leave Discourse Relations Underspecified? The Effect of Formality and Relation Type
Speakers have several options when they express a discourse relation: they can leave it implicit, or make it explicit, usually through a connective. Although not all connectives can go with every relation, there is one that is particularly frequent and compatible with very many discourse relations, namely and. In this paper, we investigate the effect of discourse relation type and text genre on the production and perception of underspecified rela…
The role of non-connective discourse cues and their interaction with connectives
The disambiguation and processing of coherence relations is often investigated with a focus on explicit connectives, such as but or so . Other, non-connective cues from the context also facilitate discourse inferences, although their precise disambiguating role and interaction with connectives have been largely overlooked in the psycholinguistic literature so far. This study reports on two crowdsourcing experiments that test the role of contextua…
Compensating for processing difficulty in discourse
This study aims to establish whether the processing of different connectives (e.g., and, but) and different coherence relations (addition, contrast) can be modulated by a structural feature of the connected segments—namely, parallelism. While but is mainly used to contrast two expressions, and occurs in many different relations and has been shown to come with a processing cost. We report three self-paced reading experiments in which we manipulate…
Weak and Strong Discourse Markers in Speech, Chat, and Writing
Ambiguity in discourse is pervasive, yet mechanisms of production and processing suggest that it tends to be compensated in context. The present study sets out to analyze the combination of discourse markers (such as but or moreover) with other discourse signals (such as semantic relations or punctuation marks) across three genres (discussion, chat, and essay). The presence of discourse signals is expected to vary with the ambiguity of the discou…

Introduction
Impact of Prosody on the Perception and Interpretation of Discourse Relations
We report on three experiments that aim at measuring the role of prosody in the acceptability and interpretation of discourse relations between utterances connected by two French discourse markers, viz. et “and” and alors “then/well.” These two discourse markers are highly polyfunctional: et “and” can express relations of addition, specification, temporality, or consequence, whereas alors “then/well” can express relations of consequence, specific…

Discourse markers and (dis)fluency in English and French
While discourse markers (DMs) and (dis)fluency have been extensively studied in the past as separate phenomena, corpus-based research combining large-scale yet fine-grained annotations of both categories has, however, never been carried out before. Integrating these two levels of analysis, while methodologically challenging, is not only innovative but also highly relevant to the investigation of spoken discourse in general and form-meaning patter…
