discourselabel
Discourselabel is a term used in the field of linguistics and discourse analysis to refer to the linguistic markers or cues that indicate the speaker's attitude, stance, or perspective towards a topic. These markers can include words, phrases, or grammatical structures that convey the speaker's opinion, emotion, or evaluation. Discourselabels are crucial in understanding the underlying meaning and intent behind a speaker's words, as they often provide additional context that is not explicitly stated.
Examples of discourselabels include hedges (e.g., "sort of," "kind of"), boosters (e.g., "really," "absolutely"), and attitude
The study of discourselabels is important in various fields, including communication studies, pragmatics, and critical discourse
