Signalling digression in Spanish and English
Digression is a discourse function that is identifiable and distinct from other similar functional strategies, and varies cross-linguistically. This paper investigates the way speakers of Spanish and English digress from their main discourse topics and how these transitions are marked. Once digression is defined by the proposal of four features considered to be inherent in this concept, the paper focuses on so-called 'digression formulating phras…
Paragraph boundaries and discourse genre
Lexical Priming (LP, o imprimación léxica) es el nombre de la toería lingüística desarrollada por el lingüísta británico Michael Hoey (cf. Hoey 2005 y 2013), en la que ciertos conceptos de la lingüística de corpus como colocación y coligación se han puesto en relación hallazgos experimentales de la psicolingüística en los procesos de asociación de palabras. La teoría trata sobre la imprimación léxica, gramatical y textual y puede ser considerada …

Remaking urban divides
Intensifying social and spatial divisions have been on the rise in cities since the 1980s. This trend has evolved in a context of increasing socioeconomic inequality and is exacerbated by the effects of the last economic crisis and austerity policies. Understanding the differential impact of these processes on vulnerable social groups and urban areas is crucial for developing effective policy responses to the challenges of social exclusion and ne…
The Expressive Function of the ni que Insubordinate Construction in Spanish
Authors such as Tyler Schnoebelen (on page 12 of his study Emotions are Relational: Positioning and the Use of Affective Linguistic Resources), suggest that in some languages (cf. Navajo), certain dependent clauses are frequently used independently to "mark emotional evaluation and background information". Evans, in his work on insubordination and its uses, makes use of the term insubordination to refer to this phenomenon. Our study focuses on a …
Give as a light verb
Light Verb Constructions (LVCs) have received widespread attention. Research on these constructions, however, has for the most part focused exclusively on their syntactic and lexical-semantic properties. Additionally, studies devoted to specific LVCs tend to neglect the phrasal-semantic and pragmatic variation brought about by the combination of a light verb with different nominal complements. This paper tries to fill those gaps by means of a qua…
El párrafo como unidad discursiva
A la hora de hablar de una lingüística supraoracional se ha considerado el párrafo como una de las unidades intermedias entre oración y texto. Más que una unidad puramente ortográfica, delimitada básicamente por tabulación, el párrafo se entiende como unidad estructural a la que es posible asociar rasgos de forma, principalmente, aunque también de contenido, que ayudan a señalar su demarcación (cf. entre otros, Brown y Yule 1983, Hinds 1977, Ji 2…

Uneven Redevelopment
Since the mid 1980s, European cities and regions have become increasingly concerned with competitive restructuring and economic growth. This concern goes hand in hand with a rediscovery of the central role of cities in the performance of regional and national economies as a whole. But, in a context of radical transformation of production and demand conditions globally, the performance of cities is mediated by their capacity to lead a process of c…
Non-SVO constructions in English
The purpose of this study is to consider those structures in English which do not exhibit a canonical order, that is an SVO constituent order (considered as the basic and dominant order for English) and the principles which can explain their existence in the language. In the first section we identify these non-SVO constructions in English and in the second we look at some of the pragmatic and functional factors underlying these structures, includ…
