Abstract

This paper contributes to the study of approximative adverbs from a corpus linguistic point of view, focusing on Spanish apenas (English barely). Research on approximative adverbs consists in a deductive line of research that usually ignores quantitative applications. This paper analyzes about 500 corpus-based examples of apenas, in order to quantify the frequency of its different uses and dealing with some cases omitted by the current theories in the specialized literature.
