Abstract

CARDOZO RINCON, GERARDO  and  APONTE BUITRAGO, ANDREA LORENA. The meaning of the speaker in polite forms of address and proverbs. Cuad. linguist. hisp. [online]. 2014, n.23, pp.87-102. ISSN 0121-053X.

Results from two research projects about the meaning of the speaker are presented in this article. The first of these pragmatic studies was focused on polite forms of address used by students from the School of Languages at the Uptc. The second study was focused on the proverbs used in the discourse of people from Samacá. In relation to the methodology, it is relevant to point out that both research projects are explicative. In this chapter, priority was given to the methodological guidelines of authors such as Hernández Sampieri, Fernández and Baptista, and Camacho. Among other conclusions, no relation between the meaning of the speaker and the denotative meaning was detected. The second research project allowed us to conclude that the meaning of the speaker in proverbs is, above all, delimited by the verbal context and the intention of the speakers.

Keywords : Pragmatics; meaning of the speaker; implicature; polite forms of address; proverbs.
