This paper investigates the uses of Italian and Spanish restrictive focus adverbs, concentrating on the three cognates solo, solamente and soltanto / tan solo. Our aim is to highlight the discourse similarities and differences between these cognates in contemporary varieties of Italian and European Spanish through a contrastive corpus-based analysis. A further aim is to shed light on the factors that explain the differences from both an intra- and a cross-linguistic perspective. Our data is drawn from existing monolingual Italian and Spanish corpora as well as a self-assembled comparable corpus of academic texts written in Italian and Spanish.
Questo contributo indaga l’uso degli avverbi focalizzanti restrittivi in italiano e spagnolo, concentrandosi sulle forme solo, solamente e soltanto / tan solo. Il nostro obiettivo è quello di evidenziare le similitudini e le differenze nella distribuzione di questi avverbi nelle principali varietà contemporanee dell’italiano e dello spagnolo europeo attraverso un’analisi contrastiva, basata su corpora. Un ulteriore obiettivo consiste nel far luce sui fattori che spiegano le differenze riscontrate sia da un punto di vista intra- sia interlinguistico. I nostri dati sono tratti da corpora monolingui d’italiano e spagnolo già esistenti e da un corpus personale (costruito ad hoc) di testi accademici redatti in italiano e spagnolo.

Abstract
This paper investigates the uses of Italian and Spanish restrictive focus adverbs, concentrating on the three cognates solo, solamente and soltanto / tan solo. Our aim is to highlight the discourse similarities and differences between these cognates in contemporary varieties of Italian and European Spanish through a contrastive corpus-based analysis. A further aim is to shed light on the factors that explain the differences from both an intra- and a cross-linguistic perspective. Our data is drawn from existing monolingual Italian and Spanish corpora as well as a self-assembled comparable corpus of academic texts written in Italian and Spanish.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
