| Description | The explicitation of the personal pronouns jo and nosaltres with the syntactic function of sentence subject in a pro-drop language like Catalan carries certain socio-pragmatic information related to the management of the face of the interlocutors. In the present study we look at the functions of the two subject pronouns in current Catalan parliamentary discourse. The analysis carried out allows us to verify that it is an important resource of the self-image of politicians, which allows them to highlight their attitude, their preferences or opinions, which can be individual or group. This strategic communicative behaviour often includes effects on the figure of other people involved in the communicative situation. The expression of the pronoun can serve to establish a contrast between the speaker and the others and can produce an impolite effect or, on the other hand, the pronoun can serve to maintain equilibrium between the images involved and, in this case, the effect can be polite. |
