Sobre los mecanismos de impersonalización en la conversación coloquial: el tú impersonal

Abstract

This article treats about one of the numerous peculiarities of the spoken language. We are going to analize the use of the pronominal second person as a pragmalinguistic mechanism of generalization in the present Spanish norm. Those grammatical uses need a specific explanation beyond the limits of the traditional grammar, because from this view they cannot be justified. We have to search this explanation in the scope of the Pragmatics.
