The article summarizes the results of a large research project dedicated to investigation of pragmatic markers (PM) in Russian everyday speech. Pragmatic markers are essential in spontaneous spoken discourse; thus, the quantitative data on their usage are necessary for solving both theoretical and practical issues related to the study of spoken communication. New results were obtained on the data of two speech corpora: “One Day of Speech” (ORD; mostly dialogues; the annotated subcorpus contains 321 504 tokens) and “Balanced Annotated Text Library” (SAT; monologues; the annotated subcorpus includes 50 128 tokens). Statistical data were calculated for PM in dialogic and monologic speech, pragmatic markers common in both types of speech (e. g., hesitative markers like vot, tam, tak) are identified, as well as PM that are the most typical for monologues (e. g., boundary markers like znachit, nu, vot, vs'o) or dialogue (e. g., 'xeno'-markers such as takoi, grit and metacommunicative markers like vidish', (ja) ne znaju). Special attention is given to the pragmatic markers usage in different communicative situations.
