Abstract

This study aims to explore the types and interpersonal functions of Discourse Markers (DMs) used by a male and a female participant during one-on-one interactions in an informal American talk show. The study specifically focuses on how DMs are employed by the participants when communicating with individuals of the same gender and individuals of the opposite gender. The study utilized a descriptive qualitative approach to gather and analyze DMs used by the host and hostess of different talk shows. The main focus was on examining the interpersonal function of DMs by analyzing contextualized utterances of key speakers, namely Steve Harvey and Kelly Clarkson. This study found that both the hosts, namely Steve Harvey and Kelly Clarkson the interlocutor of the talk show, used almost all of the Discourse Marker (DM) types when they talked to the same and the opposite gender of the guest star. Steve Harvey and Kelly Clarkson also have established the interpersonal functions of DM by using several types of DM that they use for establish cooperation, confirming the previous talk, checking to understand, and expressing understanding toward both of the genders of the interlocutors. Thus, it is still relevant to see through comparison lens what these key speakers use of DM type and how they develop the interpersonal functionality of it. The awareness of the differences use can help us better understand the natural behavior of man's and woman’s DM in their language use.
