  abstract  = {The present paper discusses Spanish as{\´i} que ('so that') as a discourse marker by means of data that are retrieved from the Corpus del Espa{\~n}ol. The synchronic study has both a quantitative and a qualitative side. From a quantitative perspective the use of as{\´i} que as a discourse marker is compared with its use as a conjunction. It is shown that as{\´i} que as a conjunction is far more frequent. The qualitative analysis focuses on the different procedural meanings of as{\´i} que: it can be used to introduce a summary, a consequence or an inference, and, on behalf of the interlocutor, even a question. The study furthermore reveals that as{\´i} que as a discourse marker can well be analysed in terms of adfunctionalization / capitalization, i.e. when an already existing means of expression becomes exploited for wider purposes. In this context, the notions of grammaticalization, lexicalization and pragmaticalization are also briefly discussed.},
