It focuses on vague multi-word expressions that are part of a larger category of General Extenders (GEs, Overstreet 1999). Drawing on a subset of data from the Corpus Oral de Referencia del Español Contemporáneo (COREC), the article describes GEs in terms of form and frequency, and illustrates the use of the three most frequent GEs vis-à-vis discursive and pragmatic functions in… Show more

“…A primeira função identificada em pesquisas que analisaram os extensores gerais foi a de marcação de categoria, definida em Dines ( 1980) 9 e adotada em pesquisas posteriores que trataram do mesmo fenômeno (cf.
