    "abstract": "Abstract: According to Silva-Corvalán (\nAhora\n 67), the discourse marker \nahora\n in Chilean Spanish has undergone a process of grammaticalization or subjectification, defined as a part of speech that changes away from objective description of the external situation and towards the expression of the speaker’s \ninternal perspective or attitude \n(Torres Cacoullos and Schwenter 347). However, according to Silva Corvalán (\nAhora\n 72), a lack of diachronic data makes it difficult to evince a change of this type. The present paper provides evidence for her hypothesis through the analysis of four interview transcriptions of middle-upper class Chilean speakers from \nEl habla culta de Santiago de Chile\n:\n \none male and one female in their late 20s, and one male and one female in their mid-60s. These interviews were published in 1979, and through an analysis of the data from Silva-Corvalán’s 1999 study as well as the use of \nahora\n by these four speakers, I show that \nahora\n may have already begun to undergo a process of subjectification at that time.",
