this article examines the functioning of discourse markers in Internet-mediated communication from a pragmatic perspective. It analyzes their role in organizing digital communication, ensuring textual coherence, expressing the communicative intentions of interlocutors, and conveying emotional and evaluative meanings. Particular attention is paid to the use of discourse markers in social networking platforms, instant messaging applications, and other digital environments, where they serve as important linguistic resources for managing communication, shaping communicative strategies, and maintaining interactive engagement. The study concludes that discourse markers constitute an integral component of digital discourse, reflecting the dynamic nature of contemporary online communication and the evolving linguistic behavior of Internet users.
