March 30, April 1 Reading for Plain Sense

Summarize what you have learned about discourse markers. Tell us how much do you care discourse markers (consciously, unconsciously)when you read English texts?

First, discourse markers show signal the sequence of events by reference to other events mentioned in the text. Second, discourse markers show signal discourse organization by using lexical items or meta-statements. Lastly, discourse markers show signal the writer's point of view. it is that the relationships the writer perceives between the facts or ideas about which she writes.

In my case, I much care about discourse markers because I demand to focus on discourse markers when I study Korean SAT. And that habit is connected nowadays such as expressing triangle when "however' is appear and expressing circle when "in conclution" is appear. It is very helpful to see the overall context structure.
