Abstract

The present research analyses the connotative and intentional uses of Spanish discourse formulated in the first person plural. We present a pragmatic and inferential study that takes as its starting point the etymological origin of the first person personal pronouns, the diachronic review of the research with the greatest impact on deixis, the distinction between inclusive and exclusive uses of the first person plural and the lack of morphological marks in current Spanish to differentiate these characteristics. We analyse the alteration of authorship/responsibility, singularity, affective involvement, real or fictitious participation, representation, the assimilation of vital coordinates, the exercise of parental authority, the externalisation of inner language and the redefinition of the deictic axis starting from the marked uses of the first person plural.
