Expressing future tense in Spanish
The present investigation examines the expression of futurity (periphrastic vs. morphological future) in Spanish in corpora from Caracas, Venezuela, Mexico City, Mexico, and three cities in Spain.

In …

For porém , we chart its development from an original PP formed by a preposition with a causal meaning ( por ) and a demonstrative pronoun that referred anaphorically to a previous proposition ( en ( de )). For mas , we trace its change from an adverb meaning ‘more’. Adopting a dis…
