It is commonly thought that the grammars written before this century contain no remarks about pragmatics. Consacrated to the description of the morphosintactic structure of language, the grammarians would have not been able to «go further» and enter into the realm of language in use. Nevertheless, a revision of the most important grammars of the Spanish tradition shows that this assumption is not entirely true. In the description of some of the most conspicuous connectives a flow of observations can be found, ranging from their textual-organization capacities to their uses in conversation. Against the commonly admited state-of-the-art, we claim for a new and broader revision of the pragmatic observations hidden in the syntactic descriptions of the Spanish grammarians.
