大多数关于话语标记的研究，包括经典的 Schiffrin (1987)，都未能正确区分本地和全球话语组织的考虑。本研究主张在连词和话语标记之间进行区分，其基础是每个元素对话语局部约束的贡献，而不是全球话语的展开。这一建议基于对希腊语中五个连接词（ala、lipon、telospandon 和 etsi）的分析，在跨越两个基本话语连续体（Georgakopoulou 和 Goutsos 1997）、口语、书面语和叙事非叙事的大型语料库中进行了研究。确定了与特定上下文中未标记或首选位置和功能的连接形式的分布相关的典型模式。该分析特别表明，主要充当话语标记的连接词往往出现在初始位置。此外，话语标记的特点是在口语中比在书面体裁中具有更广泛的功能。连词和话语标记之间所建议的区别与当前关于语境化线索在话语中的作用的观点一致，并且对现代希腊语的教学和词典编纂具有重要意义。
Most studies of discourse markers, including the classic Schiffrin (1987), fail to distinguish properly between considerations of local and global discourse organization. The present study argues for the introduction of a distinction between conjunctions and discourse markers, on the basis of each element's contribution to the local binding of discourse as opposed to the global discourse unfolding. This suggestion is based on the analysis of five connectives (ala, lipon, telospandon, and etsi) in Greek, studied in large corpora spanning the two basic discourse continua (Georgakopoulou and Goutsos 1997), spoken-written and narrative-nonnarrative. Typical patterns relating the distribution of connective forms with unmarked or preferred positions and functions in specific contexts were identified. The analysis specifically suggested that connectives that predominantly operate as discourse markers tend to appear in initial position. Furthermore, discourse markers are characterized by a wider range of functions in spoken than in written genres. The suggested distinction between conjunctions and discourse markers concurs with current views on the role of contextualization cues in discourse and has significant implications for the teaching and lexicography of Modern Greek
