“…Algunas palabras como 'Alicia', 'habla' y 'chino' en el enunciado (1): (1) Alicia habla incluso chino, lo hacen aportando representaciones conceptuales, esto es, delimitan intuitivamente objetos, entes y cualidades de la realidad. Otros, por el contrario, como el adverbio 'incluso' aportan una instrucción sobre cómo dichas representaciones conceptuales deben combinarse entre sí o con la información contextual (Blakemore, 2002;Escandell & Leonetti, 2011). En (1), por ejemplo, 'incluso' indica convencionalmente que Alicia habla chino y además otras lenguas, no mencionadas expresamente, y destaca el hecho de saber hablar 'chino' como menos esperable que el hecho de hablar otras lenguas accesibles en el contexto.…”

“…Other elements at the very heart of verb phrase grammar (e.g. inflections marking tense and aspect, modal verbs) have been analysed as cases of procedural encoding (see Escandell-Vidal et al (2011a) for details and references). This marks another development too, which is that procedural meaning is no longer confined to attitudes toward, or inferences performed on, propositional contents, but is taken to play a role in the expression of the propositional content itself.…”

The distinction in Relevance Theory between two kinds of encoded meaning, conceptual and procedural, has evolved so that more and more components of encoded meaning, both linguistic and non-linguistic, are now taken to be procedural (non-conceptual). I trace these developments and assess the extent to which these diverse elements share properties that distinguish them from concept-expressing words. While the notion of procedural encoding has lost some of its original distinctiveness, it may make sense to think of all encoded meaning as procedural (including the meaning of concept-expressing words), but this necessitates the drawing of new clarifying distinctions among kinds of procedural meaning.

“…As a connective, thesemantics of por tanto is mainly of procedural nature, as opposed to conceptual meaning. Procedural meanings act as constraints on inferential processes and can be defined as “encoded instructions that specify computational operations to be performed during interpretation and, more precisely to access a particular context for interpretation.” ( 17 ). Specifically, por tanto constrains the access to the context for readers and instructs them to process the host segment as a reasoned consequence of the mental representation arisen from the propositional content of the previous discourse segment, that is, the cause of the discourse relation ( 3 ).…”

Research on causal relations in multisemiotic texts constituted by words and graphs has been scarce with only a few exceptions. In the current study, eye movement behavior was studied in seventy-six Chilean high school students, who read a set of twelve causally-related economics texts in Spanish in four experimental conditions. The objective is twofold. We aimed, on the one hand, to observe the main effects of the causal discourse marker (DM) por tanto and the statistical causal graph (G), as well as the interaction effect of both variables on different eye tracking measures. On the other, we seek to observe the effects of the DM on the same eye tracking measures for the graph system (GS) area of interest (AOI). The findings showed that the conjoint presence of the DM and the G did not positively influence the processing of selected AOIs. Analyses also reveal no significant effects on the GS AOI. Thus, the results indicate that the DM tend to decrease processing times, while the G increases them. Additional analyses conducted on the integrative transitions between the verbal system and the graph system reveal that more transitions were identified between the consequence segment and the graph system, thereby confirming that the consequence segment is crucial for the integration of both semiotic systems.
