Abstract

This work recaptures the topic of the reformulative markers: o sea, es decir, esto es, a saber from a new perspective. The objective is to explain the reasons why o sea y es decir can be built with the conjunction que integrated in the structure of the particle. My hypothesis is based on the idea that the conjunction que, when co-occurs with reformulative markers, can be related with other manifestations of this conjunction in independent sentences: Oye, que no quiero más, and integrated in the structure of some consecutive markers: ¿Así que estabas ahí? In the examples with que, it is possible to observe the existence of some previous knowledge and inferences that are introduced by means of the presence of the conjunction. These sources of information can be found in the examples of reformulative markers with que, and will allow us to explain the interesting connections between consecutive and illative markers.
