Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

The paper concentrates on comment clauses (CCs) as used in English face-to-face conversation. The author shows that there are many forms such as you know, you see and I mean that are frequently used in everyday conversation between people. Although they do not contribute much to the informational content of a particular conversation, their presence is important because they perform several different discourse functions and help the smooth flow of communication.

In Czech

Článek se zaměřuje na věty-komentáře v anglické bezprostřední konverzaci. Autorka ukazuje, že existuje mnoho verbálních forem jako např. you know, you see a I mean, které se bežně používají v každodenní konverzaci mezi lidmi. Přestože moc nepřispívají k propozičnímu obsahu dané konverzace, jejich přítomnost je důležitá, protože plní několik různých diskurzních funkcí a napomáhají hladkému toku komunikace.
