        This paper contributes to the general discussion on the value of written data for the study of phenomena typical of orality, and wants to provide a better understanding of the social and linguistic functions of code-switching in Chicano narratives. It looks into the use of bilingual pragmatic marker pairs in Susana Chávez-Silverman's essays Killer Crónicas (2004). Two case studies are dedicated to pragmatic expressions that focus on the direct interaction between the speaker-writer and hearer-reader, namely the epistemic markers you know/ sabes and the metadiscursive parentheticals I swear/ te lo juro. It is shown that, besides supporting well thought literary effects, the use of pragmatic markers in this volume mirrors surprisingly well their use in monolingual and bilingual spoken discourse. As a consequence, due to its high degree of orality, the text of Chávez-Silverman can be considered as a complementary source for the study of code-switching in spoken language.
        Este trabajo contribuye a la discusión general sobre el valor de datos escritos para el análisis de fenómenos típicos de la oralidad, y provee un mejor entendimiento de las funciones sociales y lingüísticas del cambio de código en textos narrativos chicanos. Estudia el uso de marcadores pragmáticos bilingües en los ensayos Killer Crónicas de Susana Chávez-Silverman (2004). Los dos estudios de caso se dedican a expresiones pragmáticas que se centran en la interacción directa entre el hablante-escritor y el interlocutor-lector, a saber los marcadores you know/ sabes y los parentéticos metadiscursivos I swear/ te lo juro. Se argumenta que, más que generar determinados efectos literarios, el uso de los marcadores pragmáticos refleja bien su uso en el discurso hablado monolingüe y bilingüe. Como consecuencia, por su grado de oralidad elevado, el texto de Chávez-Silverman se puede considerar como fuente complementaria para el estudio del cambio de código en el lenguaje hablado.
