Pragmatic markers actually, in fact and really in cross-linguistic perspective

Original language description

This article develops Aijmer and Simon-Vandenbergen‘s 2004 model for the study of pragmatic markers actually, in fact and really (“A Model and a Methodology”). The main aim is to contribute to the study of pragmatic markers which still lacks commonly accepted terminology and classification. According to Aijmer and Simon-Vandenbergen, discourse markers in fact, actually and really belong to the same semantic field, namely the field of expectation. Their argumentation is based on the functionalist, corpus-based and cross-linguistic methodology of translation equivalents. While their conclusions were drawn from the corpus data in Swedish and Dutch, studying other languages is a necessity. Therefore, the pilot study was carried out in another Germanic language which is German. The English-German equivalents were contrasted and it will be shown that German data support the hypothesis that these markers belong to the same lexical field. Also, German correspondences were compared with other Germanic correspondences in Aijmer and Simon-Vandenbergen‘s study and they frequently emerge as cognates. Finally, the study analyses the medial position of pragmatic markers actually, in fact and really and illustrates that they can function in this position but often with different specialization than in other positions in a sentence.
