Specifically what do you mean by discourse markers? Do you have a list of
the ones you are looking for? I have a program which might be able to tag a
list of items into a text ... or you could enter a list into wordsmith and
do a search on the list, but that wouldn't automatically tag the texts for
you, I don't believe.
