Rom. Atunci and Sp. Entonces: from Adverbs to Discourse Markers. Some Convergences and Divergences. This study describes the semantic and functional behaviour of the Romanian adverb atunci and the Spanish adverb entonces. Our contrastive approach puts forward a common typology for the discursive values of these two lexemes which share the same etymon and shows that, across the times, they have followed a similar evolution path, from a temporal adverb to a polyfunctional discursive marker. Using examples from the CoRoLa corpus for Romanian and the CORPES corpus for Spanish, the study outlines that atunci and entonces cover a mostly similar range of discursive functions, but with different degrees of development.

Keywords: Rom. atunci, Sp. Entonces, discourse markers, argumentative value, metatextual function, intradiscursive and interdiscursive analysis.
