Abstract

This paper, based on the scholar, Fraser’s theory on classifications of discourse markers, targets CET-4 passage reading from 2014.6 to 2019.6 and analyzes the characteristics of discourse marker application. The results present that topic markers, contrastive markers, elaborative markers and inferential markers are distributed in the passage reading of CET-4 with different frequency, among which contrastive markers and elaborative markers are more frequently employed. The research plays key roles in language acquisition and language pedagogy.
