Discourse markers are special notations that are not conceptual in nature and have only procedural meaning.They are indispensable for people to maintain continuity and fluency in daily communication.Advanced level Chinese learners have mastered basic Chinese listening,speaking,reading and writing skills and can use Chinese to conduct more complex communication.However,owing to some objective and subjective factors,the sentences used by these advanced Chinese learners in daily communication are still not fluent and authentic.The ultimate goal of Chinese learners is to be able to communicate freely in Chinese.Therefore,for advanced Chinese learners,mastering the discourse markers is very necessary.However,in view of the development of discourse markers in China,the author finds that most of them are concentrated on ontology research.Although the research on discourse markers in the field of teaching Chinese as a foreign language has gradually increased in recent years,there are few studies on conversational analysis of advanced Chinese learners.Therefore,this paper studies the discourse markers from the perspective of conversational analysis.This article consists of the following sections.First of all,based on the predecessors' research,this paper proposes its own standard from the definition of speech,semantics and syntax.The speech has certain characteristics and can be identified by accent and pause.There is no actual semantics in semantics,only procedural meaning.It is syntactically relatively independent,does not form a grammatical unit with adjacent components,and is flexible in position.Secondly,this paper takes the conversation of the guests in the "Informal Talks" program as the research corpus,and conducts statistics and analysis on the use of the discourse markers of advanced Chinese learners.Then this paper has a detailed research on the high-frequent words "Ranhou"(??),"Nage"(??)and "Jiushi"(??)from the aspect of ontology and discourse markers.Then,this paper finds that the errors in the use of discourse markers in advanced Chinese learners are mainly redundant and misused.This paper believes that the main reason for the above biases is the excessive generalization of students and the lack of scientific textbooks.Besides,most of the teachers don't emphasize discourse markers when they teaches.Therefore,this paper gives some relevant suggestions from the two aspects of teaching materials and teaching in combination with specific situations.In the textbook,it is necessary to explain the relevant discourse marker annotations in detail and practice diversification after class.Teaching should pay attention to the difference between teaching,using real corpus as the teaching example and practicing in various forms.
