Self-correction is a very common strategy in unplanned orality, since, given its lack of preparation, it is usual for the speaker to take up again what has been said immediately before in order to redo it. Rectifying reformulation markers are suited to this task, as they are specialised in correcting the previous linguistic production, introducing, at the same time, a new segment which replaces the previous one. The aim of this research is, using the PRESEEA corpus of the city of Seville, to find out which particles were used by Sevillians to perform this function, how often they were used, what specific nuances they contributed to the discourse, and to what extent the social features which characterised the informants (gender, age and level of education) influenced their use. Among the results obtained, it should be noted that: rectifying reformulators ranked third in percentage of use in the analysed sample, preceded, in decreasing order, by recapitulatory and explanatory reformulators; bueno was the most frequently used marker with this value; and some of the external factors, such as age and level of education, conditioned their use.
