Resumen

Este artículo se centra en los verbos modales deónticos que aparecen en un corpus de artículos de investigación sobre turismo. La originalidad de este estudio radica principalmente en la selección de dos secciones fundamentales del artículo de investigación para su recepción e impacto como contribución científica, a saber, la introducción y la conclusión. Como ya se expresó en Álvarez-Gil y Domínguez-Morales (2018; 2021) y Álvarez-Gil (en prensa), el artículo de investigación en turismo es, con mucho, uno de los menos explorados. La metodología implica el uso de herramientas de lingüística de corpus. Dado que el contexto es fundamental para la identificación de los significados modales, parte del análisis de los textos requiere también la realización de análisis directo. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que ciertamente existe variación no sólo en cuanto a las formas utilizadas en cada una de las introducciones y conclusiones, sino también en cuanto a los sentidos identificados. La modalidad deóntica en el corpus analizado se atestigua para expresar predicción, organización de los contenidos en el artículo, así como para expresar autoridad. Otro sentido evidente de los modales deónticos es el de indicar consejos que puedan resultar beneficiosos para el sector turístico.
