The discursive operator ya si eso

Abstract

Pragmatics is a science constantly on the move, as well as the study of colloquial Spanish which nowadays means to focus the language on structures which are very often used by speakers, but they do not count on an exhaustive analysis by linguistics. We can find some specific text markers, mainly in the spoken language, which speakers usually use and we have taken these into consideration for our study. Discursive operators si eso and its variants, such as ya si eso, are constructions which have not been lexicalized yet; they deserve to be object of study because of their frequency in use and because their connotations are increasing more and more at present. That is why we have studied these aspects throughout these pages and collected a pragmatic study based on the observations and analysis of language examples (in this occasion written examples) because it is through real examples how we can establish the meaning and consideration of the expression.
