Lee, Jungyull. (2019). Anyway as an Unassociative Stance Marker in the American Television Talk Show, Larry King Live. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 27(4), 67-77. The aim of this study is to investigate the idea that the pragmatic marker Pragmatic markers (PMs) are a class of short, recurrent linguistic items that generally have little lexical import but serve significant pragmatic functions in conversation (Andersen 2001: 39). Following Aijmer & Simon-Vandenbergen (2009), the four primary properties below can be utilized to ascertain PMs: (ⅰ) PMs do not have an effect on the truth conditions of an utterance (ⅱ) The propositional content of an utterance is not included in PMs (ⅲ) PMs are relevant to the speech context or circumstance rather than to the circumstance under argument (ⅳ) PMs are related to expressive and emotive rather than cognitive, denotative, or referential. Thus, PMs are adjustable and discourse-organizational components with a great deal of heterogeneous roles.
(henceforth PM) anyway is oriented to attributes of spoken language and reciprocal actions, paying special attention to how its use is embedded in the circumstance of the turn-sequences through which the host and his guests exhibit exceptional orientations in the American television talk show (henceforth ATTS) Larry King Live. Throughout the analysis in regard to the sequences of chaining of the PM anyway, it was found that the use of anyway exhibits multifunctionalities, which for both host and guests were found in the roles of the unassociative stance marker. This marker ordinarily has the multifunctional discursive functions to cease, concede, resume, digress, append, intensify, renounce, terminate, and dissent from a topic in a stalemate. In terms of the issue of imbalance in the use of anyway, the tokens of anyway were largely found in the utterances of the guests, rather than those of the host. It may be speculated that the equilibrium of power in the ATTS tends to be slanted toward the guests. The multifunctionalities of anyway between the participants connote unassociative stances in their correlations since they may use anyway to signal that they do not intend to continue to utter, take, or hold the floor any longer with respect to disturbing or avoidant circumstances.
