Regularidad en el uso del artículo español ante un grupo nominal con modificador adjetival. Algunas reflexiones desde la perspectiva del polaco
Regularity in the Use of the Spanish Article before a Noun Phrase with an Adjectival Modifier: Some Considerations from the Perspective of Polish

Summary/Abstract: In this article, we demonstrate how certain adjectives and adjectival phrases automatically impose only one reference to a noun phrase. The method we apply is relatively simple, and consists of a statistical analysis of the texts collected by CORPES XXI (date of reference: March–May 2022). We have calculated the relative frequency of the use of the formulae (ADJ)+ N+(ADJ), which regularly give rise to definite, indefinite and bare noun phrases. For each phrase, we also provide the absolute frequency of its appearance in the corpus. We find that the use of the article in the noun phrases under consideration is not the same in every language. Therefore, the results we present may offer considerable help for Polish learners of Spanish.
