presentagradezco

Presentagradezco is a coined term used in some linguistic and educational contexts to describe a rhetorical move that blends presenting information with an explicit expression of gratitude in a single utterance or sentence. It highlights how discourse can combine informational content with politeness, reflecting social relations in formal communication.

Etymology and scope: The term is a portmanteau of presentar and agradecer, using the first-person present form agradezco. It is not part of standard Spanish grammar and is not widely recognized in reference grammars. It appears in discourse-analysis discussions and language-learning materials as a descriptive label rather than a prescribed form.

Usage and examples: In teaching materials, presentagradezco is used to label sentences that move from presenting information to thanking the audience. Example: Presentagradezco la oportunidad de participar en este proyecto. In normal usage, these ideas are usually expressed in separate clauses: Presento la información y agradezco su atención.

Reception: Scholars view it as a useful descriptive label for discourse analysis, while noting that it is not normative. It is more common in pedagogical contexts, stylistic experiments, or bilingual settings and links to studies on speech acts and politeness.
