“…Only the DM and appears four times (4.6%) in the final position in the UK Corpus ( Figure 6 ). Thus, we may draw a preliminary conclusion that the DM positional distribution does not exhibit a high degree of positional freedom as reported in previous studies ( Tanghe, 2016 ; Bordería and Fischer, 2021 ). The DM positional distribution can be attributed to different variables.…”

This article, which is part of an on-going large-scale study, quantitatively explores and compares the frequency, patterns, and positions of the three most frequently used discourse markers (DMs): so, and, but in TV interviews. The data comprise three corpora consisting of three media programs from China, the US, and the UK. Results show that there is a statistically significant difference in the frequency of the DM so and the DM and, with each DM having the highest frequency in a specific corpus. Four co-occurring strings (“and so,” “and but,” “so but,” “but so”) are identified in the three corpora with the DM co-occurrence “and so” having the highest frequency in the American program, supporting the claim that this combination is a typical use in American English. The general positional distribution of the three DMs is similar with the highest tendency in the initial position, which can be attributed to the program’s interactivity. The findings will enhance our understanding of the three DMs used in media discourse and should be of practical significance to media hosts and guests in achieving better bilateral communication.

“…However, despite the growing number of research on DMs and a universally accepted view that DMs play a vital role in utterance interpretation, there is still no agreement on the range of their meanings and the criteria to identify this class of linguistic items. The researchers in the area recognize the cognitive perspective as a solid foundation for the growing trend in discourse marking studies (see Bordería & Fischer 2021).…”

The article offers a concise summary of problems dealing with the multidisciplinary paradigm of modern cognitive linguistics research discussed at VI Firsova Readings “Modern Languages and Cultures: Varieties, Functions, Ideologies in a Cognitive Perspective” (19-21 October, 2023, RUDN University, Moscow). It highlights the most relevant issues which include linguistic means of conceptualization and categorization, critical and positive discourse analysis, environmental thinking, pragmatics of gestures, multimodality, cognitive perspectives of intercultural communication and translation studies, discourse markers taxonomy, IT and cognitive studies, transdisciplinary methods in the study of language and cognition, among others. We aim to illuminate the advantages of the cognitive paradigm and trace new directions in its development. The articles included in this Issue and authored by the conference participants illustrate a broad range of cognitive studies drawn on different methods and conducted on diverse datasets. They clearly demonstrate that the cognitive perspective enables scholars not only to present and describe the phenomena under study but also to offer explanations to the findings and trace correlation between language, cognition and communication. This article also discusses the prospects for further research in the area.
