The intersection between pragmatics and multilingualism has received scare attention so far,
in spite of the advantages of being a multilingual. In order to cover this research gap, the present
study explores how languages are related in the same multilingual learners. The study adopts a
holistic multilingual perspective, which claims for the interaction between the languages in the
speakers’ mind, opposing the monolingual approach traditionally adopted in education and research.
In particular, the focus is on the use of textual discourse-pragmatic frame markers (TDPFMs) in
English, Spanish and Catalan, the languages in the educational context. Participants were 34
Catalan-Spanish bilingual high-school learners of L3 English. They were asked to write 3
instructional essays, one in each of the languages under study. A mixed method approach combining
data from quantitative and qualitative sources was adopted. Quantitative results showed that: 1) the
amount of TDPFMs in relation to the total of words in the three languages was similar, 2) there was a
general tendency to use the same types of TDPFMs in the three languages, 3) there was a great
tendency to overuse certain TDPFMs. Qualitative results showed that: 1) learners were concerned
with the appropriate use of connectors in the three languages and 2) the learners’
discourse-pragmatic competence was limited in the L3. These findings are discussed in relation to
their pedagogical implications. [-]
