This research tackles a study of discourse markers based on a sample of spoken Spanish: the PRESEEA-Sevilla corpus. In relation to these discourse markers, known for being specialized in structuring the information within a speech, it has often been said that they adopt certain characteristics in a spontaneous, not subject to a previous preparation orality. In this regard, our purpose is to discover their frequency and their behaviour in a set of semi-directed surveys, also, in addition to that, ascertain the social influences that affect their use. The main results obtained indicate that: 1) discourse markers have a significant occurrence in our materials; 2) the continuity of the members in these series show an explicit marking, mainly with the variants ‘después’ and ‘luego’; and 3) gender, age and educational level of informants conditioned the distribution of these units.
