The semantic evolution of verbs in parenthetical positions: Macrosyntactic Considerations on the Verb "Decir" in the Expression "Digo yo"
This article examines the prosodic, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of the verb decir in the first-person singular of the present indicative when used as a parenthetical operator with a hedging function.

Framed within the field of macrosyntax, the study analyzes the relationship between this operator and the statements it modifies at the micro-discourse level. The central hypothesis suggests that the operator digo exhibits complementary syntactic-prosodic autonomy, altering its semantic meaning and transforming it into a propositional attitude verb that influences the epistemic modality of the main statement. Through the analysis of a linguistic corpus, different variants of this operator are examined, focusing on their impact on the structure and meaning of the statement. The study concludes that the verb decir, in its parenthetical function, fulfills the requirements of prosodic and syntactic autonomy, with its semantic behavior resembling that of propositional attitude verbs, albeit with notable differences. Future research is proposed to include a more detailed analysis of communicative contexts and increase the frequency of less common variants. Este artículo explora los aspectos prosódicos, sintácticos, semánticos y pragmáticos del verbo decir en primera persona del singular del presente de indicativo, cuando actúa como operador parentético con valor matizador. Enmarcado en el campo de la macrosintaxis, el estudio analiza la relación entre dicho operador y los enunciados que modifica a nivel del microdiscurso. La hipótesis central plantea que el operador digo presenta una autonomía sintáctico-prosódica complementaria que transforma su significado semántico, convirtiéndolo en un verbo de actitud proposicional que interviene en la modalidad epistémica del enunciado. A través del análisis de un corpus lingüístico, se examinan las diferentes variantes de este operador y su impacto en la estructura y significado del enunciado. El estudio concluye que el verbo decir, en su función parentética, cumple con los requisitos de autonomía prosódica y sintáctica, y su comportamiento semántico se asemeja al de los verbos de actitud proposicional, aunque con importantes diferencias. Se propone ampliar la investigación para incluir un análisis más detallado de contextos comunicativos y aumentar la frecuencia de las variantes menos comunes.

This article examines the prosodic, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of the verb decir in the first-person singular of the present indicative when used as a parenthetical operator with a hedging function. Framed within the field of macrosyntax, the study analyzes the relationship between this operator and the statements it modifies at the micro-discourse level. The central hypothesis suggests that the operator digo exhibits complementary syntactic-prosodic autonomy, altering its semantic meaning and transforming it into a propositional attitude verb that influences the epistemic modality of the main statement.
