Conventional symbolic gestures like pointing appear at the end of children’s first year. Gesture-word combinations can be observed in their second year and could serve as a transition towards two-word speech.

We examine the effect of contextual and acoustic cues in the disambiguation of three discourse-pragmatic functions of the word okay.

Six main functions emerged fro...

In this study, the use of speech-like pragmatic markers in Iranian EFL students’ academic writing was investigated. Speech-like pragmatic markers, such as I think, well, I guess, actually, anyway, anyhow, etc. are linguistic components that are more specific to conversation than writing, and writers may wrongly include them in their academic writing. To examine the students’ use of speech-like ...
