Description
Summary:Evidentiality and textual modality are widely debated fi eld categories within the areas of linguistics and textual stylistics. The attitude of the author towards the topic indicates its commitment with the established proposition. In this way, his attitude can have either a rational/evaluative character (objective) or an emotional/expressive character (subjective), which thus conveys the tonality of the discourse. The present paper, which forms part of the research project "Evidentiality in a multidisciplinary corpus of research papers in English" of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, focuses on the genre "abstracts of research papers applied to computer science". In this paper we will analyse two types of characteristic functions: the communicative stamp of the markers which correspond to textual modality, both objective and subjective according to their relationship with the evidential and judgement markers, and the frequency of its use in the genre we are studying.<br>&lt;div&gt;La evidencialidad y la modalidad textual son categor&amp;iacute;as de campo muy debatidas dentro de la ling&amp;uuml;&amp;iacute;stica y la estil&amp;iacute;stica textual. La actitud del autor hacia el texto indica el grado de compromiso que &amp;eacute;ste tiene en relaci&amp;oacute;n con su proposici&amp;oacute;n. De este modo, su actitud puede tener car&amp;aacute;cter racional-valorativo (objetivo) o car&amp;aacute;cter emotivo-expresivo (subjetivo), marcando as&amp;iacute; la tonalidad del discurso. El presente trabajo,&lt;br /&gt;enmarcado en el proyecto de investigaci&amp;oacute;n "Evidencialidad en un corpus multidisciplinar de art&amp;iacute;culos cient&amp;iacute;fi co-t&amp;eacute;cnicos en lengua inglesa" de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, se centra en el g&amp;eacute;nero "abstracts de art&amp;iacute;culos de investigaci&amp;oacute;n aplicados a la inform&amp;aacute;tica", y analiza dos tipos de funci&amp;oacute;n caracter&amp;iacute;sticos: la carga comunicativa de los marcadores correspondientes a la modalidad textual, tanto objetiva como subjetiva en cuanto a su relaci&amp;oacute;n con los marcadores evidenciales y de juicio, y su frecuencia de uso en el g&amp;eacute;nero textual objeto de estudio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
