Description The work aims to perform pragmatic analysis of the presence of the discursive markers eh?, no?, miri, and escolti in the communicative behaviour of Catalan politicians participating in the current parliamentary sessions. These markers are elements that intensify data that the parliamentarians consider relevant to construct their argument convincingly and that at the same time represent strategies to work on the social image of the participants. The analysis studies samples from the Diaries of Sessions of the Parliament of Catalonia. The markers under study are considered within the context and are characterised from the formal point of view and from the point of view of the pragmatic-discursive function that they perform. In this type of interaction, the discursive markers under study generate different effects according to the communicative needs of the speakers. They are often used to work on the speaker’s image; however, this need is often accompanied by the effort to influence the perception of another person’s social image. In this case they can be carriers of an impolite and negative effect or a polite and positive effect for the image of the other. In parliamentary discourse, the discursive markers eh?, no?, miri, and escolti become relevant resources for the construction of the public image of a politician. The markers that are analysed are used with the aim of achieving the triumph of the political position of the parliamentary speaker.
