Abstract

The use & distribution of discourse markers in Israeli Hebrew conversation are examined, with focus on their segmentation /framing function. Naturally occurring conversations among Ashkenazi Israelis (total N = 31) were audio-recorded, transcribed, & segmented into intonation units based on a modified version of Wallace Chafe's (1994) discourse framework. A total of 336 discourse markers from 30 minutes of talk-in-interaction were classified according to four functional domains: interpersonal relations, reference, structure, & cognitive constraints. Erving Goffman's (1981) notion of "frame shift" is discussed, & the data are used to argue that discourse markers are a primary means through which conversational frame shifts occur. 3 Tables, 55 References. C. Brennan
