This paper aims to explore the functions of a specific group of interactive discourse markers, based on a North American functionalist perspective. For this purpose, we describe the multifunctionality of these discourse markers, focusing on their textual functions, which have been less explored in academic works. We took the data (1.610 occurrences) from Valle (2014), who examined a speech sample composed of 30 interviews with speakers from the Barra da Lagoa community - Florianópolis / SC (Brescancini-Valle Sample). It was observed that those discourse markers, besides acting on the interactive level, on the cognitive level, on the speaker’s attitudes level and on the social/identity level, also have functions on the textual level. These items, in addition to their basic interactive function, have the role of placing focus in some textual sections, contributing to the speech flow organization.References
