    (Murcia, Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013) Bu, Jiemin
    This study investigates the acquisition of discourse markers by Chinese learners of English in terms of gender, style and individual identity. The subjects of the study are 15 female university students and 15 male university students. The data is collected by means of audio recording in the classroom discussion and in the interviews. The examined discourse markers are like, yeah, oh, you know, well, I mean, right, ok and actually , and a total of 1292 tokens for these discourse markers are identified in the subjects’ classroom discussion and in the subjects’ interviews. The results of the study show that: (1) the female subjects use discourse markers more frequently than the male subjects. (2) all the subjects employ discourse markers in the interviews at a higher rate than in the classroom discussion. (3) the subjects’ individual identity has the effects on their use of discourse markers. (4) the subjects display their individual variations in their frequencies of discourse markers in the interviews and in the classroom discussion respectively.

    (2016-02-09) Maquieira, Helena
    En este trabajo se pasa revista a las funciones más importantes del adverbio eti en el corpus de la oratoria clásica (específicamente en Lisias, Isócrates y Demóstenes) y en los diálogos de Platón: adjunto de la predicación (1), modificador de núcleo de sintagmas (2), adverbio de Foco (3), apodótico o correlativo (4), adverbio conjuntivo (5) (conecta sintagmas u oraciones) y marcador de discurso (6). Las funciones de eti como marcador de discurso encontradas en nuestro corpus son: estructurador de discurso (organizador), conector co-orientado (aditivo y consecutivo) y conector contra-argumentativo no co-orientado (concesivo-adversativo).

    Sobre la construcción en plan (de). Recorrido sociolingüístico en el español hablado de la ciudad de Granada.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones., 2024) Repede, Doina
    The study of the construction en plan (de) in contemporary Spanish presents itself as fertile ground for the analysis of grammaticalization processes. The varied functions it takes on in discourse have been the subject of studies on different oral and digital corpora. On this occasion, based on a newly compiled corpus of semi-directed interviews (2020- 2023) in the city of Granada, we aim to analyze the frequency of use and functions of en plan (de) from a sociolinguistic perspective. In general terms, the prevalence of the pragmatic variant is confirmed over the adverbial one, but there is also the emergence of new discursive functions not documented so far in previous studies. Finally, the analysis of the social distribution of this form reveals a higher use in the first generation, especially among men.
