Resumen Uno de los recursos más productivos en la gestión de la imagen en interacción es la epistemicidad. Dada su elevada frecuencia con fines de modificación del compromiso del hablante con lo dicho ( Albelda 2016 ; Figueras 2018 ; García 2020 ), el objetivo de este trabajo es determinar qué relación existe entre el uso de unos recursos epistémic...

Forensic authorship analysis is based on two assumptions: that every individual has a unique idiolect, and that features characteristic of that idiolect will recur with a relatively stable frequency. Yet, a speaker’s language can change with age, affective states, according to audience, or genre. Thus, studies on authorship analysis should adopt th...

This paper reviews the concepts of modality and subjectivity, according to different bibliographic studies. The main purpose of the review is to note the defining flaws of both domains, which cause confusion when it comes to being explained in the uses of different linguistic units (from verbs to adverbs and discursive particles). The approximation...

It is known there are some forms, the first-person singular of the present indicative of opinion or doxastic verbs ([I] consider, [I] believe, [I] think or [I] suppose...), which present a great complexity of understanding given its polysemy and polyfunctionality. This paper focuses exclusively on the explanation of its pragmatic functioning and, m...

La forma verbal doxástica creo se caracteriza por poder manifestar valores proposicionales, así como otros de carácter modal (Soler 2019, 2021). Son estos últimos la epistemicidad y la opinión. De entre ellos, la bibliografía ha relacionado tradicionalmente el valor de opinión con una función pragmática de refuerzo en contextos confrontacionales y...

The present paper describes the main discursive uses of creo, a performative form of doxastic verb creer, in oral Spanish interaction, specifically those in which the verbal form shows attenuation or intensification. To that end, this paper performs a thorough analysis of creo instances across conversational corpora (COGILA, COJEM, Val.Es.Co., Val....

This paper presents a behavioral analysis of the doxastic form creo (que) as a subjectification modal verb, specifically in its manifestation as a pragmatic intensifier device in a Spanish parliamentary debate. Previous work on creo (que) has suggested that it is indeed an intensifier (Fuentes 2010, Brenes 2015, Cuenca 2015), although many pragmati...

Abstract: Doxastic verbs, in their first singular person of indicative present performative form, use to be a group of highly polysemous unities. An example is creo (I think), probably the most prototypical verb into the group. Creo polysemy is not completely solved from cognitive, cognitive-functionalist and strictly functionalist semantic approac...

The aims of this research are to define the attenuating function in the uses of la verdad (es que) and to evaluate the counter expectation value in the awakening of this pragmatic function. La verdad (es que) has been generally defined as a reinforcement discourse marker (Portolés, 1998; Fuentes 2009, 2012), even if some recent studies have shown t...

This paper studies the attenuation procedure in the doxastic verbs creo, opino, pienso y supongo displays, with special attention to those cases in which some of them show a weak epistemic value. Different samples of these predicates in synchronous peninsular Spanish have been analyzed - in oral corpus (COGILA, Val. Es. Co. 2.0) and in written corp...
