Abstract
This chapter has a twofold goal. First, it summarises the main results and re-examines the shared features and divergences between the four DMs chosen for the study. The data shows that all four DMs have undergone pragmaticalisation, developing new discourse functions that correlate with new syntactic features, but it also suggests that the nature and degree of pragmaticalisation is different for each DM. Secondly, this conclusive chapter seeks to open up future research paths for the study of DMs, particularly for DMs of saying.
