EL ENFOQUE DIALÓGICO DE LA ARGUMENTACIÓN Y LA POLIFONÍA Y LA EXPRESIÓN DE LA EVIDENCIALIDAD. UN ESTUDIO CONTRASTIVO DEL ESPAÑOL Y DEL FRANCÉS.

This paper analyzes the instructions embedded in the meaning of the evidential points of view materialized by the encontrar [find] + direct object + objective predicative structure and by different tenses (conditional, imperfect, morphological future and periphrastic future) in Spanish. Besides, to show similarities and divergences between Spanish and French on this topic, translations of those structures into the latter language are proposed. The corpus is composed by actual statements taken from the CREA and Internet news portals. The theoreticalmethodological framework is provided by the Dialogical Approach to Argumentation and Polyphony, which, unlike referentialist and cognitivist perspectives of evidentiality, characterizes the evidential meaning in relation to the dialogical and polyphonic-argumentative representation posed by the enunciation regarding the discursive cause that triggers it.
