(i) Current theoretical trends and their applications to Spanish: Relevance
Theory, Discourse Representation Theory, Dynamic Semantics, Generalized

(intonation), etc.
(iii) The analysis of discourse markers
(iv) Clauses in discourse
(v) Negation, quantification, mood
(vi) Declaratives and non-declaratives
