Abstract
This article presents an in-depth analysis of entonces as a temporal adverb in Spanish. The deictic and/or anaphoric nature of this expression is discussed, and it is shown that entonces always acts as an anaphoric element that relates events in a temporal way. In its semantic specification entonces includes particular instructions on the temporal relation it may establish between events. It only obtains a temporal reading when the event it accompanies is understood to occur inside a temporal frame set by these instructions. Further temporal, aspectual and lexical constraints must be satisfied for this temporal relation to take place.
