Resumen
Este estudio se enfoca en analizar los verbos modales deónticos presentes en dos libros de recetas escritos por mujeres en la Inglaterra del siglo XIX: “A Lady” (1818) y Beeton (1875). Se realiza un análisis contrastivo de cómo las autoras emplean estos verbos, comunes en textos instructivos como las recetas debido a su naturaleza prescriptiva. Los objetivos incluyen identificar los verbos modales deónticos, detectar similitudes o diferencias en su uso y observar posibles variaciones entre ambos textos. A pesar de los cambios significativos en la época, el papel tradicional de las mujeres como cuidadoras y curanderas persiste. La presentación contextualiza el siglo XIX y el papel de la mujer, introduciendo conceptos clave como género, tipo de texto y registro. Asimismo, se explora la naturaleza de los verbos modales y se define el término de modalidad, así como sus principales tipos. Posteriormente, se utiliza la metodología de lingüística de corpus con el Corpus of Women’s Instructive Texts in English (COWITE). En este análisis, se combina enfoques cuantitativos y cualitativos para examinar ocurrencias. Los resultados arrojan tanto similitudes como diferencias en el empleo de estos verbos modales, que parecen deberse a estilos lingüísticos diferentes entre las autoras.
