The article is divided in two parts. In the first part, I will present the constants of spoken discourse, i. e. the cross-linguistically shared properties exhibited by spoken texts, focusing on central properties of natural spontaneous speech, depending on the complex relationship between the language grammar and the natural conditions in which the language structures occur. In the second part, I will discuss the evidences derived from spoken data for grammar models, focussing on the elements which enlighten mechanisms of signification not yet sufficiently described in the current grammatical models, which nonetheless are important for a general language theory. Italian, Spanish and English spoken texts constitute the base of data.

Abstract
The article is divided in two parts. In the first part, I will present the constants of spoken discourse, i. e. the cross-linguistically shared properties exhibited by spoken texts, focusing on central properties of natural spontaneous speech, depending on the complex relationship between the language grammar and the natural conditions in which the language structures occur. In the second part, I will discuss the evidences derived from spoken data for grammar models, focussing on the elements which enlighten mechanisms of signification not yet sufficiently described in the current grammatical models, which nonetheless are important for a general language theory. Italian, Spanish and English spoken texts constitute the base of data.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
