Resumen
[EN] This study explores the different uses of the word little, its equivalents in Spanish and its teaching to young
Spanish learners. First, it aims at analyzing the lexico-grammatical behavior of little in a corpus of children‟s
short stories, where its prevailing use, preceding countable nouns, has been found to be much more frequent
than in other domains and registers. A contrastive study follows, which examines how little has been translated
in an English-Spanish parallel corpus; the results show that diminutives constitute an important equivalent.
Finally, some didactic implications are proposed, with the application of corpus-based findings to the teaching
of English to young Spanish learners from an approach that combines lexical syllabi and story-based
methodologies.
