The data were collected from live recordings, radio programs, and casual conversations by native speakers of Mandarin Chinese. Moreover, there are three data sets of the current study: formal, planned texts, formal, unplanned texts, and informal, unplanned texts. Formal, planned texts were drawn from speech and lectures. Formal, unplanned texts were drawn from call-in programs. Informal, unplanned texts were drawn from casual conversations. Besides, the first 150 tokens of pragmatic marker Ranhou of each data set were selected and analyzed. Based on the statistical results, it can be seen that the pragmatic function uses of Ranhou have closer relation to discourse plannedness than discourse formality.

In informal, unplanned discourse, speakers tend to use pragmatic marker Ranhou to express successive ideas. |
