PROCESOS DE REFORMULACIÓN EN EL DISCURSO ORAL: CORRECCIÓN Y RECTIFICACIÓN.

Discursive correction and rectification procedures imply a return to a previous discourse to reformulate it in a different manner. The issues covered in this paper are: to establish if these operations are in fact a part of reformulation processes, as in many cases their aim is to correct the form of a word or to seek the most precise expression for a concept, or to replace a discursive element with a more appropriate one; to analyze if the discourse relationships between the linked elements constitute a reinterpretation of the preceding segment; and finally, to determine if there exists a sequence of specific linguistic mechanisms in modern Spanish, including a set of discursive markers, that allow the implementation of these operations.
