En este trabajo se realiza un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de ambas\u0000 construcciones en un corpus de prensa y radio de una comunidad peninsular. Deber-Ø es con mucho la elección\u0000 predominante, generalmente en enunciados de modalidad deóntica. Su uso esporádico en contextos epistémicos contribuye a reforzar\u0000 la seguridad sobre el contenido, presentándolo como deducción lógica a partir de premisas contextuales. Por su parte,\u0000 deber-de contribuye generalmente a atenuar la deonticidad del enunciado, favoreciendo su interpretación como\u0000 hipótesis o sugerencia. Esta última construcción se asocia fuertemente a los contextos conversacionales, y resulta muy poco\u0000 frecuente en el discurso de los periodistas y locutores de radio.

While openings show greater number and variety of strategies, both verbal and intonational, closings show\u0000 lower intonational contours and less variation, therefore openings showing higher use of positive persuasive strategies, whereas\u0000 in closings, there are no strategies addressed to the hearer, the most frequent being assertiveness.
