This is a mini study of the variation of the use of discourse markers by the age dimension. The study finds salient differences in the choice and frequency of use of discourse markers between elder and younger native American English speakers. Younger and female speakers have a more extensive choice of tokens and use them much more frequently. EFL learners should adopt more discourse markers in target language interaction, as it could be a sign of fluency.
