Summary/Abstract: This study examines the metalinguistic markers through which the speaker monitors his/ her speech production and assesses the adequacy of its form against the conceptualized and referenced content. The study presents the functional-pragmatic features of metalinguistic operators, which are manifested in the realization of secondary communicative intentions – signalling a deficiency in verbalization, designation of linguistic mitigation and making reference to proverbial usage. The modifying role of metalinguistic operators at the level of propositional and illocutionary content is also considered, as well as their contribution to increasing discourse coherence.
