Focuses on discourse markers in 3 languages (English, German and French)

Examines the use of multi-word markers by non-native speakers of English

Attempts to address the interests of both contrastive linguistics and translation scholars (not often addressed simultaneously in the current literature on corpora)

Places equal emphasis on both quantitative methods of research
