Abstract

Abstract When looking at expressions of negation/rejection in Spanish, the conjunction ni is one of the most prolific words. However, the extent of locutions employing ni has not been widely analyzed. For this reason, we conducted a comparative descriptive examination of discourse markers of rejection and refusal for three different dialectal variants of Spanish: those of Spain, Colombia and Mexico. The participants completed a survey to evaluate their familiarity with some of these pragmatic expressions and to provide new ones. Results show that speakers of these dialectal variants all use the most common markers that start with ni, but also other phrases not recorded in many of the available sources. This paper aims to broaden the horizon of work on phraseological units of negation, which are often difficult to gather and study in depth because of their dialectal variability, colloquial use, and, in some cases, short lifespan.

在三种西班牙方言变体中，Ni作为否定表达的引子

在西班牙语中否定/拒绝的表达中，连词“ni”是使用频率最高的词之一。然而，对“ni”的使用程度还没有广泛的分析。出于这个原因，我们对西班牙语、哥伦比亚语和墨西哥语三种不同方言变体的拒绝语和拒绝语的话语标记进行了比较描述性研究。参与者完成了一项调查，以评估他们对这些实用表达的熟悉程度，并提供新的表达。结果表明，使用这些方言变体的人都使用最常见的以ni开头的标记，但也有许多现有资料中没有记录的其他短语。本文旨在拓宽对否定词汇单位的研究视野。否定词汇单位由于其方言差异、口语化使用以及某些情况下使用寿命短，往往难以深入收集和研究。

期刊介绍： The Yearbook of Phraseology is a fully international, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to research in phraseology, a linguistic subfield concerned with the study of word combinations of varying extent and type, and different degrees of fixedness. Word combinations are ubiquitous in language and constitute a significant resource for communication. Their study is of interest to many other subdisciplines of linguistics and even to other disciplines, throwing light on the make-up of constructions, their processing and learning, the make-up and modes of creation of complex building blocks of language, the methodology and use of corpora and statistical methods, as well as on the way in which language functions.
