A conversational, morpho-syntactic and intonation analysis of discourse markers in political discourse : A case study of presidential debates and tel…
2020
This thesis proposes a morphosyntactic, prosodic and conversational analysis of discourse markers in presidential debates and televised political talkshows in the United States of America. The main object of the study is the role of discourse markers in the sequential structuring and in the enunciative organisation of presidential debates in the United States of America. Discourse markers, in correlation with gestures and intonation, contribute significantly to the construction of the verbal exchange between the various participants in mediated political discourse. To achieve its goals, this thesis draws on several theoretical frameworks dealing with spontaneous speech (Benveniste and Berre…

Conversational Turn Length and Fluency Measurement in Aphasia
2013
A common assumption regarding fluency is that the difference between a fluent and non-fluent speaker can be easily stated (Poeck, 1989; Gordon, 1998). However, there is no objective and valid measure to determinate the level of a person with aphasia on the fluency continuum. Traditionally, people with aphasia have been classified as fluent or non-fluent following the cognitive criteria. In ecologycal data we find that 7,3 words-per-turn value is a valid measure in Spanish and Catalan to delimit fluent and non-fluent speakers. These results emphasize the importance of the quantitative analysis of fluency in speech in its natural environment. As well, the measure of 7,3 words-per-turn not onl…

Entre la sintaxis y el discurso: el caso de 'a lo mejor' y 'al menos' en la conversación coloquial
2018
This paper studies the Spanish forms a lo mejor (maybe) and al menos (at least) from a modular perspective, revisiting the categorization of a lo major and al menos according to the involved linguistic level and analyzing the relations between the adverbial uses of these forms and the discursive ones. Such relations show that the forms a lo mejor and al menos can be considered bicategorial lexical items, what is implemented by a corpus study based on data from spoken language.

La aplicación de un modelo perceptivo para el análisis de las estructuras conversacionales
1992
El Análisis Conversacional (AC) puede ser concebido como una especie de « Pragmática ampliada». Su principal novedad radica en una preocupación permanente por los actos de recepción. Tener en cuenta en el análisis el objeto de la enunciación nos permite identificar las realidades más allá del acto de habla y el intercambio, en las que se han centrado hasta ahora la Pragmática y el Análisis del Discurso. Con este criterio en mente, la secuencia aparece como la más alta unidad conversacional, para cuya identificaión y descripción proponemos un modelo de naturaleza perceptiva. Conversational Analysis (C.A.) can be conceived of as a kind of «amplified Pragmatics». Its main novelty líes in a per…
“Can do!” Teacher Promotion of Optimism in Response to Student Failure Expectation Expressions in Classroom Discourse
2019
This study offers detailed observational analyses of how teachers use optimism as an instructional resource when responding to students’ failure expectation displays in classroom situations. The results were based on video-recordings of 25 lessons in two Finnish part-time special education settings, analysed by means of applied conversation analysis. The results showed that the teachers boosted optimism by inverting students’ negative utterances, giving examples of successful experiences of peers, offering praise for students’ earlier performance or focusing on problems through instructional support. The study underlines the importance of addressing and elaborating students’ negative learni…
