    En este trabajo analizaremos los marcadores del discurso que se sitúan en las reacciones emotivas de una conversación coloquial, con el fin de comprobar si a sus funciones habituales de argumentación, reformulación, etc. y a sus funciones metadiscursivas de control del discurso puede añadírsele también la función metadiscursiva de anuncio de reacción emotiva. Las unidades conversacionales seleccionadas están, pues, marcadas por algún tipo de fuerza ilocutiva expresiva o emotiva. Nos situamos, así, en la línea de las investigaciones que está llevando a cabo el Grupo Fonoemoción en el seno del Proyecto EHSEE (Padilla et alii, 2017) y que suponen una nueva aportación a los estudios del llamado “discurso emotivo”. A él se acercan disciplinas lingüísticas como la fonopragmática (Rittaud-Hutinet 1995; Acuña 2011; Carbajal et alii 2014) o la fonocortesía (Hidalgo 2007; Hidalgo et alii 2010; Estellés 2013), interesadas en la relación entre el valor contextual de los enunciados y su reflejo fónico en el habla. La observación y el análisis de la conversación coloquial espontánea nos muestran que el habla se presenta continuamente como un reflejo de las emociones, de las actitudes y de los sentimientos de los usuarios (Cowie y Cornelius 2003; Padilla 2004; 2017; 2020; 2021). Para llevar a cabo esta investigación, y partiendo de la división de seis emociones básicas de Ekman (1970; 1999), se ha analizado un corpus de ochenta y nueve intervenciones emotivas procedentes de dos conversaciones coloquiales reales. Se han tomado como unidades de análisis conversacional la intervención, el acto y el subacto (Briz y Grupo Val.Es.Co. 2003; Grupo Val.Es.Co. 2014) y se han localizado quince marcadores discursivos diferentes. Aunque, dada la extensión de la muestra, aún no pueden extraerse conclusiones definitivas, sí se apuntan algunas tendencias, como la preferencia de aparición de los marcadores en las reacciones emotivas de sorpresa y enfado o la aparición del valor metadiscursivo de “anuncio de reacción emotiva” común a todos ellos.This paper analyzes the role of discourse markers that are placed in the emotional reactions of a colloquial conversation, trying to see whether a metadiscursive function of “emotional reaction trigger” can be added to their usual functions of argumentation, reformulation, etc. and their usual metadiscursive functions of discourse dynamics control. The selected conversational units are therefore marked by some kind of expressive or emotional illocutive force. Thus, we are in line with the research that the Fonoemotion Group is carrying out within the EHSEE Project (Padilla et alii, 2017) and which represent a new contribution to the studies of the so-called “emotional discourse”. It is approached by linguistic disciplines such as phonopragmatics (Rittaud-Hutinet 1995; Acuña 2011; Carbajal et alii 2014) or phonocortesy (Hidalgo 2007; Hidalgo et alii 2010; Estellés 2013), interested in the relationship between the contextual value of the utterances and their phonic reflection in speech. The observation and analysis of spontaneous colloquial conversation show us that speech is often presented as a reflection of the emotions, attitudes and feelings of speakers (Cowie and Cornelius 2003; Padilla 2004; 2017; 2020; 2021). To carry out this research and based on the division of Ekman’s six core emotions (1970; 1999), a corpus of eighty-nine emotional utterances from two real colloquial conversations has been analyzed. Utterance, act and subact have been taken as units of conversational analysis (Briz and Grupo Val.Es.Co. 2003; Grupo Val.Es.Co. 2014) and fifteen different discourse markers have been located. Although, given the extent of the sample, definitive conclusions cannot yet be drawn, some trends are noticed, such as the preference of markers for appearing in the emotional reactions of surprise and anger or the trace of the metadiscourse function of “emotional reaction trigger” common to all of them

    Producción CientíficaHealth professionals (HPs), especially those working in the front line, have been one of the groups most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study is to identify the best available scientific evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of out-of-hospital HPs in terms of stress, anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy. A living systematic review of the literature was designed, consulting the electronic online versions of the CINHAL, Cochrane Library, Cuiden, IBECS, JBI, LILACS, Medline PyscoDoc, PsycoINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases in November 2021. Original research was selected, published in either English, Spanish, French, Italian, or Portuguese. In total, 2082 publications were identified, of which 16 were included in this review. The mental health of out-of-hospital HPs was affected. Being a woman or having direct contact with patients showing suspicious signs of COVID-19 or confirmed cases were the factors related to a greater risk of developing high levels of stress and anxiety; in the case of depressive symptoms, it was having a clinical history of illnesses that could weaken their defenses against infection. Stopping unpleasant emotions and thoughts was the coping strategy most frequently used by these HPs
