Subject: Summary of Spanish discourse terms
Dear Linguists,
Thanks to those who responded to my earlier query about the translation of
some discourse terms into Spanish. Here are some of the suggestions which
I received:
coherence-coherencia
overlap-superposicion, area de coincidencia, solapar
repair- reparacion, reparar
turntaking- turno de habla, tomar el turno
backchannel- retrocanalizacion
cohesion- cohesion
speech act- acto de habla
frame- marco
footing- asentar, asentamiento
Thanks again. I hope others find the terms useful as well.
