| Sumario: | In this paper, some uses of certain epistemic modality expressions (the truth is, it is true that, I don’t know, what do I know) are described in relation to discursive functions that are carried out by speakers in order to achieve a “project of inquiry” (Stalnaker, 2002). In fact, speakers’ intentional exchange of information takes place in most conversations by discovering jointly how things are and contributing with true data to a shared body of information. According to González (2014) and López Serena and González Márquez (2018) the above-mentioned epistemic markers, among many others, evoke the speaker as a conceptualizer / modalizer of what he says and leave open the possibility of including the listener by guiding his interpetations. In this way, epistemic modality evidenced by these resources’ accounts for the speaker’s commitment or attitude towards information and his intention of sharing his interpretation with the listener. It seems important to contextualize the use of these expressions in order to establish more adequately functions and meanings conveyed by these means. Analysed conversations belong to ECAR’s corpus (Colloquial Spanish in Argentina). |
