Beyond Grammaticalization and Discourse Markers
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.
Introducción a la tipología textual
La elaboración de una tipología textual es uno de los irrenunciables objetivos del enfoque pragmático de la lingüística. Resulta necesaria, entonces, una investigación sobre los géneros textuales en tanto que nivel funcional del hablar, es decir, como herencias culturales que impiden o posibilitan interpretaciones del receptor y como respuestas a las necesidades expresivas de los hablantes. Se necesita, en síntesis, una tipología que parta de la competencia comunicativa que manifiestan los usos de los hablantes. En este libro se pretenden mostrar los límites y los alcances de la tipología textual partiendo de la teoría coseriana del lenguaje: se intenta desenredar la complejidad del texto, separando y organizando sus niveles para establecer el lugar que ocupa el género en el hablar. Se hace una propuesta de tipología homogénea (todos los tipos se definen por los mismos criterios), exhaustiva (puede aplicarse a cualquier género que se proponga) y distintiva (el resultado muestra las particularidades de cada clase).
Lenguaje y discurso
En este libro se reúnen algunos trabajos importantes de Eugenio Coseriu sobre la naturaleza del lenguaje y sobre el nivel del texto, y un capítulo de síntesis de Óscar Loureda en el que se explican, valoran y amplían algunas de las ideas sobre el texto (en general, sobre el nivel individual del lenguaje) que Eugenio Coseriu ha expuesto en diferentes publicaciones.
Language Use in the Public Sphere
This book comprises a range of general discussions on tradition and innovation in the methodology used in discourse studies (Pragmatics, Discourse Analysis, Argumentation Theory, Rhetoric, Philosophy) and a number of empirical applications of such methodologies in the analysis of actual instances of language use in the public sphere - in particular, discourses arising in the context of the debate on the presence of religious symbols in public places.

Evidentiality, egophoricity and engagement
The expression of knowledge in language (i.e. epistemicity) consists of a number of distinct notions and proposed categories that are only partly related to a well explored forms like epistemic modals. The aim of the volume is therefore to contribute to the ongoing exploration of epistemic marking systems in lesser-documented languages from the Americas, Papua New Guinea, and Central Asia from the perspective of language description and cross-linguistic comparison. As the title of the volume suggests, part of this exploration consists of situating already established notions (such as evidentiality) with the diversity of systems found in individual languages. Epistemic forms that feature in the present volume include ones that signal how speakers claim knowledge based on perceptual-cognitive access (evidentials); the speaker’s involvement as a basis for claiming epistemic authority (egophorics); the distribution of knowledge between the speech-participants where the speaker signals assumptions about the addressee’s knowledge of an event as either shared, or non-shared with the speaker (engagement marking).

Evidential Marking in European Languages
How are evidential functions distinguished by means other than grammatical paradigms, i.e. by function words and other lexical units? And how inventories of such means can be compared across languages (against an account also of grammatical means used to mark information source)? This book presents an attempt at supplying a comparative survey of such inventories by giving detailed “evidential profiles” for a large part of European languages: Continental Germanic, English, French, Basque, Russian, Polish, Lithuanian, Modern Greek, and Ibero-Romance languages, such as Catalán, Galician, Portuguese and Spanish. Each language is treated in a separate chapter, and their profiles are based on a largely unified set of concepts based on function and/or etymological provenance. The profiles are preceded by a chapter which clarifies the theoretical premises and methodological background for the format followed in the profiles. The concluding chapter presents a synthesis of findings from these profiles, including areal biases and the formulation of methodological problems that call for further research.
Lingüística del texto
Desde hace más de medio siglo el texto es uno de los objetos de la lingüística a los que mayor número de páginas se ha dedicado. Esta aparente unidad cuantitativa ha sido relativizada por la falta de coincidencia en el objeto de estudio, en la metodología y en los objetivos de las distintas modalidades de la investigación. Por ello parece lícito plantearse la posibilidad de construir una lingüística del texto ''integral'': abordar el texto ''de manera integral'' significaría no sólo explicar por completo el objeto del análisis, sino también hacer compatibles los diversos enfoques metodológicos existentes. Este planteamiento se encuentra en el fondo de la Textlinguistica de Eug...
