Discourse Particles in French Conversation: "(eh) ben, bon, and enfin."
Barnes, Betsy K.
French Review, v68 n5 p813-29 Apr 1995
Patterns of use of the French particles "bon, (eh) ben, and enfin" were analyzed in a corpus of spontaneous multispeaker conversation. Results show that each particle marks a particular type of discontinuity in the discourse. Turn-initial and turn-medial patterns are described for each. (17 references) (Author/MSE)
