Abstract

In this essay we try to go in depth in the study of the construction "gerund + diminutive", which there seems not to be a lot of specialized literature about. We will use two of Mark Davis’ corpora that are focused on modern Spanish language ("Now" and "Web / Dialects"), to see how frequent this phenomenon is, and where and how it happens. Through the analysis of some specific examples, we will proceed to corroborate, on the one hand, some of the points of the already-existing hypotheses about this construction, and, especially, on the other, to correct / modify other points that may need it. We will use different theories about diminutive, gerund and lexical aspect. We will see that reality is often far from corresponding with what theories say, and that some of them need to be updated almost completely.
