Aproximación a un análisis pragmático del refrán: dimensión argumentativa

Abstract

This article shows an approach to the pragmatic analysis of the proverb. It describes some aspects of this kind of saying that can be considered as part of the argumentative discourse and that might been used didactically in the Spanish class and literature. In the first part, it introduces a brief analysis of the proverb circumscribed in a speech acts theory; in the second part, it proposes some activities which assume the proverb as an excuse for the development of argumentation processes of the Spanish language and literature students.
