Now as a Discourse Marker in Spoken English

kniha odborná

en

Now is a very frequent word in English. Anyone with at least some command of English will tell you what it "means". But really? This book wants to illustrate that there is more to the meaning than just dictionary entries. Discourse markers (DMs) have recently become a very popular topic in pragmatics. However, now has been only rarely mentioned. Even though it cannot compete with some other DMs in frequency, its functions in discourse by far surpass the role of a temporal adverb.

"Now" je velmi časté slovo v anglickém jazyce. Kdokoli s alespoň částečnou znalostí angličtiny vám řekne, co to "znamená". Ale opravdu? Tato kniha chce objasnit, že toto slovo obsahuje víc, než se dočteme ve slovníku. Diskurzní markery se v poslední době staly velmi populárním tématem v pragmatikce. "Now" se jen ovšem zmiňuje jen zřídka. I když co do četnosti použití nemůže konkurovat některým dalším diskurzním markerům, jeho funkce v diskurzu zdaleka předčí roli pouhého časové příslovce.
