Epistemic mustnât in English
It is a widespread claim in the literature that there does not exist an epistemic use of the modal verb mustnât in English. Instead, the form canât is said to fill the gap in the system. This paper shows that there is an epistemic use of mustnât in Present-day English, investigates the contexts in which it appears and compares the use of epistemic canât and mustnât
Copular clauses of the SN is SN type and predication
Este artĂculo examina los mecanismos por los que
una oraciĂłn copulativa con doble sintagma nominal
puede adoptar la funciĂłn de caracterizaciĂłn mĂĄs
propia de los sintagmas adjetivales. La teorĂa aquĂ
defendida es que la funciĂłn caracterizadora de una
oraciĂłn copulativa de sintagma nominal viene
determinada por tres factores: el grado de fuerza
referencial del atributo, el tĂłpico del texto en que
aparece la oraciĂłn y la literalidad del sentido de
cĂłpula que posee la oraciĂłn.This article examines the mechanisms that enable a
copular clause of the SN is SN type to act as a
predicational clause, a function typically associated
with adjectival groups. The claim made here is that
the function of the copular clause is determined by
three factors: the referential strength of the attribute,
the topic of the text surrounding the clause, and the
type of copular relation established by the clause,
which can be either literal or fictional

Stative situations and the Progressive construction (be/estar + gerund) in English and Spanish: a contrastive corpus-based analysis
This paper explores the frequency with which English and Spanish make use of the Progressive construction (be + gerun, estar + gerund) with stative predicates. The behaviour of different verbs typically associated with stative process types has been examined in corpora of one million words of the European variety of both languages. This has revealed not just differences in the frequency of use of the Progressive construction, but also in the restrictions imposed on certain verbs in English and Spanish
La generación de tiempo y aspecto en inglés y español un estudio funcional contrastivo
Esta tesis ofrece un anĂĄlisis contrastivo de los sistemas de tiempo y aspecto del inglĂ©s y el español basado en un estudio de corpus. Los corpora empleados fueron el Corpus de referencia del español actual (CREA) para español y el Brithish National Corpus (BNC) para inglĂ©s, y el marco teĂłrico utilizado en el anĂĄlisis de los datos proviene de la gramĂĄtica sistĂ©mico-funcional. Los resultados de dicho anĂĄlisis fueron aplicados posteriormente a la creaciĂłn de recursos lingĂŒĂsticos para la generaciĂłn automĂĄtica de tiempo y aspecto en textos de los dos idiomas mediante el generador KPML
