Abstract

REPEDE, Doina. A PILOT STUDY ON THE DISCOURSE MARKERS INTRODUCING DIRECT QUOTATION IN THE PERUSEV ORAL CORPUS. Lingüística [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.2, pp.11-32.  Epub Oct 18, 2023. ISSN 2079-312X.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2079-312x.20230015.

The purpose of this paper is to carry out a pilot studio on the functioning of the different discourse markers (entonces, o sea, este, pues, etc.) that appear in the discourse of Peruvian speakers living in the city of Seville.

Specifically, we propose to carry out a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the different values of discourse markers linked to the quotation marking function. To this end, we handle the 22 semi-directed interviews of Peruvian informants residing in the capital of Seville ‒with primary, secondary, and higher education‒ which constitute the Oral Corpus for the sociolinguistic study of Peruvian speakers in the city of Seville (PERUSEV). The general results indicate that discourse markers introducing direct speech are used to reproduce the own or other people's words, particularly in argumentative sequences. By social factors, these markers predominate in the discourse of second-generation informants with medium education, especially women, and in subjects who have been living in Seville for almost 15 years.

Keywords : discourse markers; direct quotation; corpus; orality; PERUSEV.
