Abstract

Based on some uses of certain mirative markers, we are interested in describing some functions that are carried out in colloquial interactions, in relation to the co-construction of the inquiry project. Shared information may be unexpected for the listener, who shows his disbelief to what has been said. We will consider the mirative markers from an intersubjective perspective, as they present the speaker as a modalizer of what is said and leave open the possibility of including the listener by guiding him in his interpretations.
