Discourse markers, which have been studied under various labels such as discourse operators, pragmatic connectives, lemma, discourse connectives, and sentence connectives, are used in both spoken and written language to inform the structure of conversation. Widely used in research in this area shows how discourse markers are important in communication to mark discourse structure. The results show that discourse markers serve as useful manipulations for structuring and organizing texts relevant to educational processes.
