Resumen
- This study presents a contrastive analysis of three pairs of Catalan andSpanish reformulative discourse markers that contain the word fi: en fi / en fin, al cap i ala fi / al fin y al cabo and en definitiva / en definitiva. The specific goals of the paper are: (a)to discern the similarities and differences between the instructions they establish; (b) tostudy their position in the utterance (initial, medial, final) and their co-occurrence withother conjunctions and (c) to discuss whether their pragmatic functions can be attrib-uted to their morphological patterns and to their degree of grammaticization. Findingssuggest that, even though there aren’t differences between the two languages analyzed,there are important differences between the three pairs of markers analyzed: in theinstructions that each of them carries out and in their utterance position, and in theirco-occurrence with other conjunctions. This study proves that, in practice, the threepairs of reformulative markers are not exchangeable in all discourse contexts, and theycannot be considered synonymous. Finally, despite their degree of grammaticization,their pragmatics functions can be attributed to the value of the word fi.
