Abstract

This study analyses how the speech act of farewells is expressed in seventeenth-century Spanish letters. Dif­ferent types of correspondence are considered, including authentic material, namely commercial, intimate and diplomatic letters; and constructed letters that are part of drama plays. The analysis takes into account all the religious expressions that were used as well-wishing formulae imploring divine intervention. Thus, it is possible to establish the degree of conventionalisation of valedictions and the different factors affecting the use of the different formulae, such as the social rank of both sender and receiver.
