<p>El objetivo de este trabajo es el estudio diacrónico de dos marcadores de reformulación que presentan paralelismos formales (<em>más</em> + adverbio) y semánticos. Sin embargo, la comparación de <em>más exactamente</em> y <em>más precisamente</em> muestra que no surgen paralelamente ni tampoco por los mismos caminos de evolución. Adaptamos el modelo teórico de <em>cooptation</em> para diferenciar entre creación innovadora y analogía. Además, los marcadores prueban la distinción entre reformulación, paráfrasis y corrección.</p><p>The Spanish reformulation markers más exactamente "more exactly" and más precisamente "more precisely" show parallel formal structure and semantics. Nevertheless, the comparative study demonstrates that they did develop neither in a parallel manner nor through the same diachronic clines. To differentiate between innovative creation and analogy, we adapt the theoretical model of cooptation. Additionally, these markers prove the distinction between reformulation, paraphrase and correction.<br /><br /></p>

Adverbials with Adjectival Basis in Brazilian Portuguese and Their Frequency in Spoken and Written Language. The present paper focuses on the use of adverbs with an adjectival lexical base in spoken and written present-day Brazilian Portuguese. We compare the frequencies of three different types of adverbials: adverbs in mente (e.g. absolutamente), adjective-adverbs (e.g. alto in falar alto ‘speak loudly’) and prepositional phrases with adjectives as the post-prepositional element (e.g. de novo), the latter being the main focus of this study. The analysis is based on the Discurso & Gramática-corpus, which consists of oral interviews of 170 informants and their written texts on the same topic as the one in the interviews. The data shows that prepositional phrases are less frequent (in terms of type and token frequency) than adjective-adverbs and adverbs ending in mente. Regarding the difference between spoken and written language, adverbs in mente occur remarkably more often in written texts while adjective-adverbs are more frequent in spoken language. Prepositional phrases, instead, occur equally in both codes. Finally, we draw the conclusion that prepositional phrases form a small but stable inventory of lexicalised forms, which are not marked for any code.
