Abstract
In previous works (Tabares Plasencia 2018, 2020, 2021a, 2021b), the importance of legal elements in Spanish literature has been pointed out. This article will mainly offer a sample of verbonominal constructions, together with an analysis of the abundant legal phraseology present in the work of one of the most prolific writers of our literature, Benito Pérez Galdós. Beforehand, however, the author’s relationship with Law, as well as the characteristics of the CORLITES corpus (Corpus of Spanish Literature), will be briefly outlined. This corpus has been compiled with the aim of extracting and analysing, from a diachronic point of view, the legal terminology and phraseology used in Spanish literary texts from the origins of the Spanish language until the first two decades of the 20th century, with a special emphasis on the CORLIGA subcorpus (Corpus of Literature-Galdós).
