As a special discourse component, it does not directly contribute to propositional content, but plays a key role in discourse construction and understanding. The article focuses on the pragmatic functions of discourse markers under the cooperative principle: information organization, emotion expression, communicative interaction, contextual instruction, turn-taking management, cognitive guidance and semantic ambiguity regulation through the analysis of specific examples, which reflect their roles in discourse and interpersonal dimensions, and enhance the efficiency and embody politeness of communication. The study points out that the use of discourse markers not only proves the application value of discourse markers in different contexts and emphasizes their key role in building clear discourse structure, effectively conveying intentions, and regulating the atmosphere of communication, but also reflects the high flexibility and complexity of human communication, which is an indispensable part of linguistic communication.
