Partículas discursivas y cognición: ‘sin embargo’ y la conexión contrargumentativa

Abstract

Discourse particles are intentional cues used in communication to guide information processing. In this paper, we analyzed the contribution of the Spanish counter-argumentative connective sin embargo to constrain inferential processes by means of an eye-tracking experiment. Results show that sin embargo regulates the cognitive effort needed to process utterances. Furthermore, approaching the study of discourse particles experimentally allows obtaining a three-dimensional image-cognitive, language-specific and discursive-of these elements.
