Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to illustrate that ‘y' know’ as a discourse marker displays the speaker as one whose role as information provider is directly contingent upon hearer reception. Furthermore, the fact that speakers may require different types of hearer reception - attention, confirmation, agreement, relinquishment of the floor, is illustrative of the interactional and pragmatic function of "y' know" in the domain of discourse analysis. In order to analyse this concept, we have chosen Woody Allen’s film script ’Hannah and her Sisters’.
