  Neste traballo analizo unha situación de variación morfosintáctica: o uso de cantara/cantei en galego co mesmo valor tempoaspectual: pretérito aoristo de indicativo. Comezarei recoñecendo contextos con diferentes graos de focalización discursiva para comprobar se hai variacións na elección de cantara/cantei debidas ó grounding. Fareino utilizando dous córpora de datos, un de galego oral e outro de escrito. Finalmente, cotexaranse os resultados e comprobarase se ambos rexistros mostran diferencias no grao de acollida de cantara como pretérito simple fronte a cantei. O principal interese deste traballo refírese ó modo de aplicar métodos e ferramentas do variacionismo clásico á indagación en feitos lingüísticos relativos, medidos en termos graduais e non opositivos

  In this work I analyse a situation of morphosyntactic variation: the use of cantara/cantei in Galician with the same tense-aspect value: the aoristic preterite of the indicative. I will begin by recognising contexts with different degrees of discursive grounding to investigate whether there are variations in the choice between cantara/cantei due to grounding. I will conduct this investigation using two data corpora, oral and written Galician. Finally I will compare the results and determine whether the two registers demonstrate differences in the degree to which cantara is selected as simple preterite over cantei. The main interest of this work concerns the application of methods and tools of classical variationism to the investigation of relative linguistic phenomena, measured in gradual and non-oppositional terms
