El propósito de este trabajo es destacar el papel de las interrogativas entre el conjunto de estrategias que emplean los hablantes para gestionar la configuración informativa que hay detrás de cada interacción. En este sentido, el trabajo parte de la función más inmediata de la interrogación —como manera de actualizar el archivo informativo que com...

Este trabajo aborda la noción de tópico desde sus orígenes en la Retórica y la Poética hasta sus nuevas manifestaciones en el discurso publicitario y poético. Por un lado, la publicidad se apropia de los tópicos clásicos (tempus fugit, carpe diem, memento mori) para transformarlos en mercancía comercial; por otro lado, el ámbito poético aprovecha l...

This volume approaches the interaction of evidentiality with some other related categories, such as modality and mirativity, from an innovative angle: its connection to informational configuration. The aim of this book is to analyze the impact of shared knowledge on TAME categories as well as to explore its reflection on different verb choices. It...

El objetivo de este artículo consiste en proponer un nuevo tipo de oralidad: la oralidad estética, que puede rastrearse en el programa creativo de los textos poéticos contemporáneos. Frente al carácter recreador de la oralidad fingida y la orientación persuasiva de la oralidad simuladora de realidad, esta nueva modalidad no se extrae directamente d...

El objetivo de este trabajo es reivindicar la pertinencia del corpus GestINF como un material orientado para evaluar la relación entre la configuración informativa y la estructuración lingüística, y analizar la postura discursiva del hablante ante una situación informativa concreta. Así, se sitúa en el mapa de los corpus en español, se justifica la...

Presentation of the special issue Context and Linguistic Change.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the negative local and temporal constructions formed with todo/a in a preverbal position; specifically, its behavior and origin. It is well known that some prepositional phrases with the quantifier todo/a and a nominal phrase of temporal or local meaning behave as terms of negative polarity in Spanish, but on...

This paper analyzes the mirative sense triggered by the future structures será posible and (no) será verdad in Spanish. Specifically, it is firstly argued that whereas será posible represents a fixed structure with a very versatile mirative meaning, (no) sera verdad still exhibits contextual dependency and shows a more restrictive mirative behavior...

This paper focuses on the behavior of Spanish aunque sea—which originally emerges in a scalar concessive conditional protasis—as an operator meaning ‘at least’. More specifically, it is argued that aunque sea becomes an argumentative operator which reinforces the utterance where it appears through mitigation. Furthermore, the relationship between e...

CONGRESO INTERNACIONAL “EL CONOCIMIENTO COMPARTIDO: ENTRE LA PRAGMÀTICA Y LA GRAMÁTICA”

International Conference "Shared Knowledge: between Pragmatics and Grammar"

CONGRÉS INTERNACIONAL “EL CONEIXEMENT COMPARTIT: ENTRE LA PRAGMÀTICA I LA GRAMÀTICA”

The chapters in this volume present a state of the art of grammaticalization research in the 2010s. They are concerned with the application of new models, such as constructionalization, the ongoing debate about the status and modelling of the development of discourse markers, and reveal a renewed interest in the typological application of grammatic...

Evidentiality in communication is better investigated in delimited and recognizable contexts where the multiple levels of meaning in interactional practices are manifested. Taking this viewpoint, the present volume explores the interrelations between evidentials and textual genre in Spanish. Adopting a discursive perspective, all of the chapters ex...

This volume offers a variety of perspectives on two of the main topics situated at the crossroads between lexical semantics and syntax, namely: (a) aspect and its correspondence with syntactic structure; and (b) the delimitation of syntactic structures from verb classes. Almost from Aristotle’s Metaphysics, it has been assumed that verbs invoke a m...

The aim of this paper is to examine the connection between Spanish concessive future and evidentiality. More specifically, it is argued that concessive future does not merely represent a contextual variant of conjectural future (Escandell, 2010) but a new use (Squartini, 2012) which is restricted by the activated status of the proposition (Dryer, 1...

Este articulo se centra en el tradicionalmente denominado futuro concesivo. De manera mas especifica, este uso se explica como el resultado de la proyeccion de un valor deictico (la distancia) sobre el nivel de enunciacion. Asimismo, se examinan las circunstancias en las que el valor concesivo aparece: cuando funciona como primer miembro de una est...

The reversative value is a kind of opposition between verbs which may manifest lexical or morphologically. In the case of Spanish, the reversative is one of the most productive values of the prefix des- when it joins to verbal bases in order to create new verbs. Traditionally it has been assumed that this value is triggered when the prefix is adher...

Este trabajo se enmarca en el Proyecto de Investigacion ‘Innovaciones linguisticas del humor: Generos textuales, identidad y ensenanza del espanol’, ‘Aplicaciones a la clase de espanol como lengua extranjera de la ironia y el humor’, concedido al grupo GRIALE por el Ministerio de Ciencia en Innovacion. Asimismo, se incluye dentro del Programa Juan...

This paper shows that a scalar interpretation of desformations may offer a unified explanation of several values that had not been connected so far. Specifically, this article focuses on verbal prefixation, that is, on those cases in which the prefix desis adhered to verbal bases in order to form new verbs. From this point of view, it will be shown...

This article deals with discourse functions of the Spanish scalar particle incluso in interaction with a si conditional. It will be shown that scalar properties of incluso require paying attention not only to its focus and scope, but also to its argumentative function and discourse structure. Thus, three main discourse functions are proposed for in...

This paper deals, from a pragmatic point of view, with the relationship between irony and humour. Both phenomena are defined as founded upon contrastive mechanisms: whereas the former is related to inclusive contrast, the latter is linked to exclusive contrast. This proposal may be useful to study the Spanish poetry in the last decades of the twent...

It has been traditionally assumed that the negation expressed by the Spanish negative prefix des- is a stronger, more marked negation than the standard proposi-tional negation conveyed by the adverb no. The aim of this paper is to connect the subjective values associated to des- with a general trend consisting in turning contradictories into contra...
