Description At first sight mere fillers in conversation, discursive markers are actually very important tools for communicative competence in both L1 and L2. The aim of the contribution is to observe their development in the interlanguages of Czech and Slovak learners of Italian as a non-mother tongue, focusing on those that perform metadiscursive functions. The data collection on which the analysis is based was carried out by alternating the focus group technique with semi-guided conversations. On this basis and employing an onomasiological approach, not only the various metadiscursive functions performed by the discursive markers were analysed, but also the presence of other phenomena, such as code-switching, idiosyncratic uses, etc. Finally, the possible effect of the immersion context on the use of the forms in question was taken into account.
