This paper focuses on the pragmatic function of the discourse marker “well” in conversational interaction of second language learners. Based on the corpus, we divide the pragmatic functions of “well” into four levels: content level, structural level, interpersonal level, and without level (interlanguage marker). This will help us understand the use of markers, such as “well” in interlanguage and provide references for improving the pragmatic competence of second language learners.
