Description
Summary:This paper offers an approach to the discursive functions of the discourse marker no hombre in Mexican Spanish. This marker has not been adequately described, so the main objective of this paper is to offer a first approach to the prosodic features of the discourse marker no hombre in Monterrey Spanish data. The analysis follows the postulates of the Autosegmental Metrical model and the prosodic notation system Sp_ToBI and it is based on the idea that the prosodic realization of the discourse marker is decisive for its interpretation in conversation. The results show that the discursive functions have a prosodic correlation reflected in the different tonal heights, the assignment of tonal pitch accents, and the syllable duration of the marker. This is a work that helps to characterize the variety of Monterrey Spanish in prosodic terms.
