Pragmatic markers have an important function in the speech and they fill the gaps that occur during the process of expressing the ideas during the speech .

There are two main kinds of pragmatic markers that are used in the talk shows .

By analyzing the data , two kinds are functioned according to the context of the interview, it is necessary to mention that there is a sharp contrast between them as to the number of uses in talk shows .

The data is about three speeches in different talk shows events .

These speeches give us a number of uses for pragmatic markers.

These pragmatic markers comprise a functional class of linguistic items that do not typically change the meaning of the utterances , but they are so necessary for the structuring and ordering of discourse , also paving the way for processes of pragmatic inference.
