AB [EN] This study explores the different uses of the word little, its equivalents in Spanish and its teaching to youngSpanish learners. First, it aims at analyzing the lexico-grammatical behavior of little in a corpus of children‟sshort stories, where its prevailing use, preceding countable nouns, has been found to be much more frequentthan in other domains and registers. A contrastive study follows, which examines how little has been translatedin 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 teachingof English to young Spanish learners from an approach that combines lexical syllabi and story-basedmethodologies.
