One of the tenets of the NSM approach, as developed by Wierzbicka and colleagues, is its universality: that the lexicon and the syntactic patterns that comprise the metalanguage are found in all languages of the world. This article presents an analysis of the Spanish subjunctive as it is used in the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) of Spanish. The semantics of the Spanish subjunctive: Its use in the Natural Semantic Metalanguage. Tags: (E) bueno (2002) Spanish – NSM primes, NSM syntax Finally, we consider the role bueno may play in the communicative realization of the norms and values of the cultures in which it is used. It is argued that these definitions reflect the way in which the meaning of the discourse marker bueno is related to the adjective bueno, meaning ‘good’. On the basis of these functions, it is suggested that bueno is polysemous, and following the Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach, two definitions to account for its range of use are proposed. Four discourse functions of bueno are identified and discussed. This paper presents a semantic analysis of the Spanish discourse marker bueno (something similar to ‘well’, ‘OK’, ‘alright’ in English).
