SAN MARTIN NUNEZ, ABELARDO. VARIANTS AND FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENTS OF AL FINAL: THE REFORMULATORS OF RECAPITULATION IN THE SANTIAGO, CHILE SPEECH. RLA [online]. 2015, vol.53, n.2, pp.97-119. ISSN 0718-4883.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-48832015000200005.

In this paper the use of the reformulators of recapitulation in a sample of Spanish spoken in Santiago, Chile, from a sociolinguistic point of view is analyzed. Particularly, the behavior of discourse markers that meet this function is described and at the same time the sociolinguistics distribution of this use is established, in a stratified sample of 120 interviews. Also, the theoretical conceptualization of discourse markers of Cortés (1998), Martín Zorraquino & Portolés (1999), Portolés (2001) and Carbonero & Santana (2010) was developed. In the analysis, was considered the function "reformulation of recapitulation with markers" as a case of sociolinguistic variable with different values or variants (recap's markers). Consequently, his use were correlated with the sociodemographic factors (sex, age and socioeconomic group) of subjects interviewed, based on their functional commutability in discursive level. The results show that recap's markers constitute a wide paradigm, but with a clear predominance of al final and o sea, they are the most frequent; also, o sea as recapitulative marker is more used by informants of upper middle socioeconomic group.
