The number of auxiliary verbs here shown only corresponds to those which do not occur in complex verb forms (he cantado, ‘I have singed’), passive voice (es amado, ‘He is loved’), or verbal periphrasis (puede comer, ‘She can eat’)—these are counted as verbs. The total number of auxiliary verbs in our corpus is 992. 2 Leonardo Campillos Llanos (2012) Universidad Autónoma de Madrid
