ResumoAlthough you know and I mean are frequent in spontaneous talk, researchers have not agreed on what purpose they serve. They have been thought by some to be used similarly and by others to be used differently. Similarities of uses at a surface level encouraged historical discussions of these two markers in the same breath. The current synthesis details how both the apparent multifunctionality of you know and I mean and their surface similarities can arise out of each discourse marker's basic meaning, with you know's basic meaning being to invite addressee inferences (Jucker, A.H., & Smith, S.W. (1998). And people just you know like ‘wow’: Discourse markers as negotiating strategies. In A. H. Jucker & Y. Ziv (Eds.), Discourse Markers: Descriptions and Theory (pp. 171–201). Philadelphia: John Benjamins), and I mean's basic meaning being to forewarn upcoming adjustments (Schiffrin, D. (1987). Discourse Markers. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press).
