Abstract

AbstractThis article analyses the function of the multiword lexemeya me dirás túas used in Internet forums. We defend the notion thatya me dirás túis a highly polyphonic discourse marker. Its function is evidential as of the moment in which the speaker uses this unit to present a subjective appraisal as a logical truth within the framework of an assertion. We therefore focus on evidentiality from not only a lexical but also a textual-discursive standpoint. Internet forums are the ideal type of text for studying a unit likeya me dirás tú, which is typically used in colloquial language.
