Discourse markers are words that are used in spoken as well as written language to indicate what the speaker or writer is feeling/thinking, and to enable the listener/readir to comprehend a text.
In written language, discourse markers are like the "glue" that binds together a piece of writing, making the different parts of the text 'stick' together.
In spoken language, discourse markers are used to show the speaker's attitude, as 'fillers' or to join ideas.
