Resumen:
Research on specialized
discourse in different languages has focused on written genres. Only recently, there has been a more sustained interest in
the linguistic and grammatical particularities of academic oral genres
(e.g., for English see Hunston, 1998; Recski, 2005; Ventola, Shalom
& Thompson, 2002; for Spanish, Castellà Lidon, 2004; Ciapuscio, 2003a;
2004; Ciapuscio & Kesselheim, 2005; Fortanet; 2005 Müller, 2005, among
others). Thus, this article seeks to
broaden and deepen the knowledge of epistemic modality and its
lexical/grammatical markers in a genre
of academic orality in Spanish: the popular science talk. This knowledge will
become an input for further extensive research on specialized Spanish, as a
part of the COTECA project (Argentinas Scientific Spanish Text Corpus:
Generic, Lexical/Grammatical, and Terminological Research).
COTECA seeks to contribute to the knowledge of oral and written Spanish used by
Argentine academic researchers and specialists.
