Virtually unstudied until the 1980s, discourse markers have gone on to become a growth industry. Research on markers is central to comprehensive theories of the synchronic linguistic system as such, of the use of language in communication, and of language change. From the very beginning, linguists working on Romance languages have been at the forefront of research on discourse markers. Including among its contributors many of the foremost experts in the field, this volume not only offers substantial state-of-the-art introductions to the diverse facets of contemporary research on discourse markers, with a focus on Romance, but it achieves added value by including in each chapter original and ...
Beyond Grammaticalization and Discourse Markers offers a comprehensive account of the most promising new directions in the vast field of grammaticalization studies. From major theoretical issues to hardly addressed experimental questions, this volume explores new ways to expand, refine or even challenge current ideas on grammaticalization. All contributions, written by leading experts in the fields of grammaticalization and discourse markers, explore issues such as: the impact of Construction Grammar into language change; cyclicity as a driving force of change; the importance of positions and discourse units as predictors of grammaticalization; a renewed way of thinking about philological considerations, or the role of Experimental Pragmatics for hypothesis checking.
El volumen presenta una temática en que la Universidad de Salamanca es pionera y referente internacional: la enseñanza del Español como Lengua Extranjera (ELE). Es el resultado de la investigación aplicada a la enseñanza de nuestra lengua. La constante presencia de alumnos extranjeros en Salamanca ha permitido que nuestros especialistas en la materia fueran conformando la metodología “Universidad de Salamanca” que se renueva continuamente con las aportaciones de los nuevos investigadores, con el fin de aprovechar las nuevas tecnologías en el aprendizaje de lenguas: MOOC, herramientas colaborativas, aplicaciones para dispositivos móviles, recursos audiovisuales, plataformas virtuales..., contemplan la presencia, cada vez más importante, de la adquisición de la competencia intercultural en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras.

Was haben hofliche Bitten, Todesanzeigen, Boethius-Ubersetzungen und politische Diskurse gemeinsam? Ein gemeinsamer Nenner ist die Traditionalitat des Sprechens und Schreibens, denn kommunikative Gewohnheiten, Textsorten oder Interaktionsstile fungieren als kulturelle Traditionen und Muster, auf die Sprecher zuruckgreifen, um kommunikative Aufgaben erfolgreich zu bewaltigen. Die romanistische Diskurstraditionenforschung untersucht diese kulturellen Techniken sprachlicher Interaktion in verschiedenen Sprach- und Kulturraumen und fragt nach deren Relevanz fur die Ausformung gesellschaftlicher und kultureller Gruppierungen. Ausgehend von der Theoriebildung in der Romanistik prasentiert der vorliegende Band Modelle einer kulturorientierten Linguistik aus verschiedenen Fachkulturen und eroffnet auf diese Weise Perspektiven fur eine facherubergreifende philologisch-kulturwissenschaftliche Analyse von Texten und Diskursen.
Setting out the historical national and religious characteristics of the Italians as they impact on the integration within the European Union, this study makes note of the two characteristics that have an adverse effect on Italian national identity: cleavages between north and south and the dominant role of family. It discusses how for Italians family loyalty is stronger than any other allegiance, including feelings towards their country, their nation, or the EU. Due to such subnational allegiances and values, this book notes that Italian civic society is weaker and engagement at the grass roots is less robust than one finds in other democracies, leaving politics in Italy largely in the hands of political parties. The work concludes by noting that EU membership, however, provides no magic bullet for Italy: it cannot change internal cleavages, the Italian worldview, and family values or the country’s mafia-dominated power matrix, and as a result, the underlying absence of fidelity to a shared polity—Italian or European—leave the country as ungovernable as ever.
The book presents research works developed within the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD) by senior and young researchers that participated in the Intensive Research Program “Advances in the anthropological theory of the didactic and their consequences in curricula and teacher education” held at the Centre de Recerca Matematica (CRM) in Barcelona. It is organized in three axes of current research on the ATD: teacher education and the professionalization of teaching; the curriculum problem in the historical transition from the classical paradigm of visiting works to the emerging didactic paradigm of questioning the world; and research in didactics at the university level.

Annotation. Este estudio investiga la relación entre los marcadores del discurso y la cortesía verbal, dos categorías de la pragmática muy estudiadas y, sin embargo, todavía de perfil indefinido. De hecho, los marcadores son un asunto delicado por sus dimensiones operativas múltiples; en la misma línea se encuentra la cortesía verbal con nociones de confines borrosos (como proximidad, intensidad, etc.). Este libro aboga por describir sus dinámicas con el fin de poner de relieve su gran rentabilidad comunicativa. Ofrece una exposición razonada del estado del arte, tanto de los estudios sobre la cortesía verbal en el español peninsular, como de los marcadores del discurso (con especial atención a un enfoque relacional). Además, aborda cuestiones definitorias que permiten llegar a la descripción y a la organización por funciones de unos setenta marcadores que, según los trabajos científicos revisados, el hablante puede utilizar con fines corteses.
