The importance of discourse markers (words like "so," "however," and "well") lies in the theoretical questions they raise about the nature of discourse and the relationship between linguistic meaning and context. Diane Blakemore asserts that the exercise in classification that has dominated discourse marker research should be replaced by the investigation of the way in which linguistic expressions contribute to the inferential processes involved in utterance understanding.
The content of the book is very interesting and presented well, but the scan quality is horrendous. About half the commas look like periods, parts of several letters are missing or appear on the line below, there are typos, many l's look like capital I's, and the spacing is inconsistent. This makes the book difficult to read. I expected something better from Cambridge.
