Las funciones pragmático-discursivas de en este sentido

Abstract

This study analyse the real uses of the fixed construction en este sentido from a polyfunctional approach. The most frequent function consists of marking the continuation of topic and indexing the unit in a special frame, so en este sentido is linked with connectives and also with topic markers. In addition, en este sentido reduces its scope and works as a topic operator and as a contrastive focal particle.
