Trends in the introduction of direct speech in current Spanish and Latin American narrative A1 Estévez Rionegro, Noelia K1 Direct Speech K1 Grammar K1 Narrative K1 Archivo de Textos Hispánicos de la Universidad de Santiago K1 Corpus de Estilo Directo Atípico en Español K1 Direct Speech K1 Grammar K1 Narrative AB This paper presents the results of the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the trends in direct style utterances according to (i) the position of its members in the sentence and (ii) the syntax and semantics of the opening expression (subject and verb) of the quotation. To this end, we use for the empirical dissertation a set of around three thousand direct-style utterances extracted from two well-known Spanish linguistic corpora: (i) Archivo de Textos Hispánicos de la Universidad de Santiago and (ii) Corpus de Estilo Directo Atípico en Español. The obtained results allow revealing: (i) the positional freedom of the introductory element, with a marked tendency to postposition, (ii) the omission of the subject (whose position also conditions the position of the quotation), and (iii) the use of a wide range of verbs belonging to different semantic classes, although those with a declarative value are predominant (although not exclusive).
