Marcadores de discurso são palavras ou frases como qualquer maneira, certo , ok, como eu digo, para começar. Nós usamos para se conectar, organizar e gerir para dizer, escrever ou expressar atitude.
Vamos ver um exemplo de conversa:

That sounds like a good idea.
Well, you need a car.
Right.
Anyway, I was wondering if either of you would teach me how to drive.

The discourse makers in this conversation are So, Well, Right and Anyway.
"So" marks the beginning of a new part of the conversation.
"Well" marks a change in the focus (from getting a car loan to needing a car).
"Right" marks a response.
