discourse: discourse element

This is used for interjections and other discourse particles and elements, which are not clearly linked to the structure of the sentence, except in an expressive way.

These discourse elements are attached to the head of the most relevant nearby unit, often a clause.

We use the discourse relation also for redundant or emotional items, redundant coreferential pronoun.

(meaning “… but you promised”)

We also use discourse for list enumerators (e.g. 1., (ա) marking an item in a sequence). (Bullets, by contrast, are considered punctuation and attach as punct.)
