Resumen:
Research on specialized discourse in different languages has focused on
written genres. Only recently has there been more sustained interest in the
linguistic and grammatical peculiarities of academic oral genres (for English see Hunston 1998; Recski 2005;
Ventola, Shalom and Thompson 2002; for Spanish, Castellà Lidon 2004; Ciapuscio
2003a, 2004; Ciapuscio and Kesselheim 2005; Fortanet 2005; Müller 2005, among
others). This article seeks to broaden
and deepen the knowledge of epistemic modality and its lexico-grammatical
markers in a genre of academic orality in Spanish, namely popular science
talk. This knowledge will contribute to further extensive research in
specialized Spanish, as a part of the COTECA project (Argentinas Scientific
Spanish Text Corpus: Generic, Lexico-Grammatical, and Terminological
Research).2 COTECA seeks to contribute
to the knowledge of the oral and written Spanish used by Argentine academic
researchers.
