Stories have proved to be an important didactic resource in language teaching; therefore, teacher trainees are often encouraged to design story-based tasks. However, they may find difficulties in identifying the language typically found in children's stories. For this reason, the present paper aims at exploring a relevant feature of this genre, descriptive modifiers, in order to raise student teachers’ genre awareness and prompt them to use high-…

Making a little go a long way
This study explores the different uses of the word little, its equivalents in Spanish and its teaching to young Spanish learners. First, it aims at analyzing the lexico-grammatical behavior of little in a corpus of children’s short stories, where its prevailing use, preceding countable nouns, has been found to be much more frequent than in other domains and registers. A contrastive study follows, which examines how little has been translated in a…
Selling cheese online
This paper is a corpus-based study of certain key nouns used in promotional texts describing cheese in English. A corpus of online cheese descriptions was compiled to extract lexical information regarding the characterization of cheese. All in all, 37 key nouns were identified and classified into 7 semantic categories: appearance, part, colour, aroma, texture, taste and quality ranking. All the occurrences of each key noun were analysed to obtain…
A corpus-based study of the use of Spanish demonstratives as translation equivalents of English demonstratives
[EN] This article aims at finding traces of translationese in the use of Spanish demonstratives in translations by (a) studying the resources used in Spanish to translate English demonstratives, (b) rating to what extent Spanish demonstratives are preferred translation equivalents of English demonstratives and (c) assessing the use of Spanish demonstratives in translated texts on the basis of a quantitative comparison of their frequency rates of …
A Methodological Proposal for the Study of Semantic Functions across Languages
After a brief revision of the major currents of thought and grammatical models in the history of CS (Contrastive Studies), a method of analysis suitable for corpus-based descriptive studies across languages is presented and discussed in this paper. As an alternative to translation corpora, the use of comparable corpora is advocated and put into practice in a large-scale research on a particular semantic function, quantification, and its expressio…
