Interactive discourse markers and particles in the political and journalistic field of Twitter

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the markers that favor interactivity on Twitter. From the review of some of the major works on discourse markers in Spanish, we identify which elements are used to mark the interaction. Specifically, we describe their functions when they are used by politicians and journalists in communicative exchanges on Twitter. In order to achieve this, we use the Pragmatic Linguistics framework of Fuentes Rodríguez (2015 [2000]).
