Este artículo analiza el uso de los marcadores for example y for instance en construcciones ejemplificativas, selectivas y argumentativas. De estos tres usos, la ejemplificación—a saber, estructuras con una primera unidad más genérica o hiperónimo y un segundo elemento más específico o hipónimo—ha recibido una atención recurrente en la literatura, mientras que la selección—construcciones donde se omite el primer elemento genérico—y la argumentación—el uso de marcadores para conectar fragmentos completos de discurso— han sido ignoradas durante mucho tiempo. Este estudio, basado en datos de ARCHER 3.2, muestra que los tres usos coexisten desde al menos la segunda mitad del siglo diecisiete y que la argumentación prevalece tanto en inglés británico como americano. Además, estos marcadores son muy productivos en ciertos géneros, como la ciencia, los sermones y la publicidad. Por otro lado, aunque la función principal de for example y for instance es introducir ejemplos, ambos han desarrollado diferentes valores pragmáticos que los acercan a la categoría de marcadores del discurso. Así, por ejemplo, su uso como mitigadores los convierte en una herramienta óptima para suavizar la interacción y, por tanto, reducir el riesgo de ofender a nuestro interlocutor.
