The next International Conference on ‘Discourse Markers in Romance Languages’ (DISROM7) will be held at the University of Craiova from June 16th to June 18th, 2022, if allowed by the pandemic context and in compliance with the applicable rules. Otherwise, the conference will be organized online.

This Conference’s theme will specifically question issues of crosslinguistic analyses of discourse markers in Romance languages and beyond.

- definition of the discourse marker category;
- lexicons of discourse markers;
- discourse markers and their relation to other pragmatic categories;
- syntax-prosody-discourse interface;

- variation of discourse markers across registers, languages and language varieties;
- translation studies;
- L1 and L2 acquisition of discourse markers;
