El inventario de los marcadores de discurso: nuevas incorporaciones

Abstract

After analysing various different argumentative texts written in Spanish, it is evident that existing lists of the discourse markers used need to be extended. The application of a solid theoretical framework reveals that the following expressions function as discourse markers, although they have not been recognised as such: se trata de, por así decirlo, hablando de + nominal group, no olvidemos que y de lo que se colige/deduce que.
