The adverbial locution nomás has always been considered a defining feature of American Spanish, appearing in basically the entire continent. It conveys several interpretations and uses, such as reinforcing adjectives and adverbs, emphasizing verbs, or as a plain sentence qualifier. However, despite its dialectal relevance, there aren't many studies looking deep into the origin of such element. Thus little is known about the first stages of its grammaticalization process. Considering the above, this study analyses the uses of nomás in medieval Spain (XII-XV centuries), with the purpose of verifying the existence of grammaticalized instances of this element and, in such a case, describe its usage and its main morphosyntactic characteristics, from which to better understand the origins of modern American nomás.
