Variation and the use of discourse markers in 16th-century Spanish
Christopher J. Pountain | Queen Mary, University of London
This study aims to account for the differing uses and frequency profiles of a variety of discourse markers (DMs) in four roughly contemporaneous 16th-century Spanish texts which are contrasting in nature. Such a methodology complements previous studies which have used large heterogeneous corpora, in that it controls the variables of authorship and text-type as well as allowing for a closer philological appraisal of the data. It is able to show not only that the presence, absence or frequency of a particular DM is determined by the tenor and field of the text, as well as by its characteristic discourse type, but also that when DMs are variant exponents of the same function, they may also act as social indicators.
Keywords: discourse markers, 16th century, Spanish, Lope de Rueda, variation, social indicator
