Palabras clave:

Análisis del discurso, Raymond Carver, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love”, sociolingüística, charla entre sexos y matrimonios

Resumen

Mucha gente, al igual que la protagonista del relato de Dorothy Parker “Too Bad” se preguntan “de todos modos, ¿de qué hablaban los matrimonios cuando estaban a solas?” El relato de Raymond Carver “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” es la reproducción literaria de las maneras en que las parejas casadas se comunican. Este ensayo analiza este relato teniendo en cuenta aspectos sociolingüísticos relacionados con el comportamiento lingüístico de los hombres y de las mujeres y las estrategias discursivas que cada género usa para explorar si estos personajes reflejan con exactitud hábitos discursivos de la vida real.
