This paper analyzes the emergence of the paper as a kind of writing in the area of the Humanities that, in recent times, and with institutional support, has been imposed as the nearly unique and acceptable kind of academic discourse. The aim of this paper is, first, to study the main characteristics of this kind of writing, based on information in the manuals and instructions for paper writing and, secondly, to signal its implications for the intellectual work in general and for the work in Latin America in particular.

This paper suggests links between macro- and micro-level phenomena like employment and consumption trends on the one hand, and on the other, the details of one-on-one communication, be it oral or multimodal. The globalization of recent discourse trends originating in the world of large business corporations is spurred by sociopolitical conditions created by institutional, provincial or national decision-making. Knowledge about the effects of grammatical structures, interactional mechanisms, conversational synchrony, and visual semiosis is systematically applied by local and transnational organizations and institutions. The calculated application of various resources (polarity questions, semantic presuppositions, inclusive 'we' and sympathetic performative utterances) will be shown in call centers training manuals, while material from a university school's institutional web page will illustrate the discussion on the appropriation and naturalization of the discourse and the aesthetics of marketing.

El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una aproximación variacionista a un tipo específico de marcador del discurso en el español hablado en Santiago de Chile: los marcadores interrogativos de control de contacto. Para tal propósito, se identificaron las partículas que cumplían la mencionada función en una muestra de 54 entrevistas que conforman el Corpus Sociolingüístico de PRESEEA en Santiago de Chile. Por un lado, se analiza el comportamiento de este tipo de marcadores en la variedad antes indicada y, por otro, se establece la distribución de su empleo en una muestra socialmente estratificada de hablantes santiaguinos. Para el estudio de dichas partículas se aplicaron el concepto y la clasificación de los marcadores del discurso de Briz (2001), Martín zorraquino y Portolés (1999) y Portolés (2001), así como las sugerencias de Cortés (1988) para su análisis cuantitativo. En el análisis se consideró la función "marcador interrogativo de control de contacto" como un caso de variable sociolingüística con uno o más valores o variantes (marcadores). Consecuentemente, se correlacionaron los factores sociodemográficos de los sujetos con el empleo de dichos marcadores. De este modo, basándonos en la conmutabilidad funcional -pragmática y discursiva-de los marcadores relevados se procedió a su análisis cuantitativo, según las variables: edad, sexo-género y nivel educacional de los sujetos entrevistados.The aim of this paper is to approach from a variationist point of view a specific type of discursive markers in spoken Spanish in Santiago de Chile: interrogative markers of contact control. For this purpose, we identified the particles that perform that function in a sample of 54 interviews that make up the PRESEEA Sociolinguistic Corpus in Santiago, Chile were. On the one hand, we analyzed the behavior of such markers in the variety of Chilean Spanish indicated above and, on the other hand, we established their distribution in a socially stratified sample of Santiago speakers. For the study of these particles, we applied Briz (2001), Martin zorraquino and Portolés (1999) and Portolés (2001) concepts and classifications of discourse markers, and the suggestions of Cortes (1988) for quantitative analysis. The analysis considered the «interrogative marker of contact control» as a sociolinguistic variable with one or more values or variants (markers). Consequently, socio-demographic factors were correlated with the subjects' use of such markers. Thus, based on the functional-pragmatic commutability of the discourse markers found in the interviews we carried out a quantitative analysis according to the variables age, sex, gender and educational level of the interviewees.

In a broad research context, the present study covers the grounds of, on the one hand, the interdisciplinary domain of discourse analysis and, on the other hand, the field of applied linguistics. This study is intended to research into intermediate TEFL students' development of their ability to interpret and use some of the basic argumentative writing resources that they are expected to develop as part of their academic studies and EFL teacher training. The study set out to account for the students' ability to employ two cognitive discoursal patterns which influence the production of argumentative written discourse, that is: a) the 'ARGUMENT-ISWAR' pattern (AIW), based on the seminal proposals by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) about the operation of 'conceptual metaphors' in discourse; and b) the dialectical mode of discourse, proposed by Ruiz and Zenteno (2004-2005).
