Abstract

There are studies that have focused on the construction of written discourses and their organization by connectors. On the other hand, this study attempts to find a construction of spoken political discourse. Speech markers are considered as an organization of the structure of spoken speech and make it more coherent from the moral side.This study aims to analyze a number of political interviews and to emphasize the markers of discourse. These organize the structure of the discourse and by which the listener knows the beginning of the discourse or the conversation where there are many that the speaking subject uses to begin the subject as (first, while, then, all of first, it is true that, wait, listen to me, etc.) There are also discursive markers that show the development of discourse among which we can cite (but, and, in fact, I think, nevertheless, by the way, thus, now, on the other hand, you know, for example, etc.) other discourse markers indicate the end of speech for example ( finally, to conclude, so, in the end, to finish, thus, on the other hand, moreover). In this case, and thanks to these markers, we can have an organized speech from the constructive side and the spoken speech is more clear and coherent.
