A proposal for the inductive categorisation of parenthetical discourse markers in Spanish using parallel corpora

We propose a method for the automatic induction of categories of Spanish discourse markers using parallel corpora, based on a quantitative and empirical approach that minimises explicit linguistic knowledge. We conducted the analysis the using a large Spanish-English parallel corpus. First, we used this corpus to obtain a list of parenthetical discourse markers in each language. Then, we used it as a “semantic mirror”, inspecting the English equivalences and assessing which Spanish discourse markers fulfil a similar function in discourse and vice versa. The result of this procedure is an emerging categorisation of discourse markers. The main contribution is to offer empirical evidence for the adequacy of existing manually-compiled taxonomies and the potential for discovery of new, unaccounted categories. In this article we focus on units pertaining to the Spanish language but, since the method is purely quantitative, it is possible to apply it to different languages as well.

Resumen Esta investigación demuestra que el marcador discursivo de continuidad por su parte no forma parte necesariamente de una serie y no impone restricciones sobre la orientación argumentativa de las unidades discursivas que conecta. El análisis de corpus revela, además, que el significado básico de continuación es determinado según el referente del posesivo y el tipo de discurso. Cuando el deíctico se refiere a un agente y aparece en discurso referido, el marcador asume un valor evidencial, que había sido ignorado en la bibliografía. Así pues, el artículo se ocupa de caracterizar las funciones de por su parte, centrándose en la función híbrida entre la continuación discursiva y la evidencialidad citativa. Finalmente, trata cuestiones teóricas derivadas, como el tratamiento como marca de evidencialidad citativa, y la relación entre evidencialidad y polifonía.

Dialogical and monological functions of the discourse marker bueno in spoken and written Spanish

The Spanish discourse marker bueno has multiple functions ranging from the expression of (dis)agreement to topic management. The present paper sets out to explore what happens when bueno starts to be used in written monological contexts. We examine the use of bueno in spoken sociolinguistic interviews and written internet texts in Mexican and Peninsular Spanish. We propose a unified account of the different functions of bueno based on preference structure and mitigation, tracing a grammaticalization path from adjectival to dialogical and, subsequently, monological uses of bueno. We use regression analysis to examine the hypotheses that (a) written medium serves as a catalyst for monologization, and (b) the two dialects studied represent two different stages of grammaticalization of bueno. While the first hypothesis is confirmed, evidence supporting the second hypothesis is less conclusive, suggesting that written uses are more similar between the two dialects than the spoken ones.
