Abstract：Well, as a discourse marker, is frequently used in oral communication. It plays a crucial role in identity construction through its pragmatic functions, and is conversely influenced by identity construction. This paper, using the examples in The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, focuses on the distribution and frequency of well used by Wang Lung, the hero, and analyses its expressive function by referring to the development of Wang Lung's identity, with the purpose of proving the interaction between the use of discourse marker well and identity construction.
