Summary: | The aim of this article is to study the complete poetry of Luis de Góngora using a contrastive analysis. To this end, the poems, which do not pose any attribution problem, published in digital format by the Observatoire de la vie littéraire (OBVIL) have been selected (with the exception of theatre) and divided into three parts on the basis of a chronological criteria. Next, the tool Stylo has been used to obtain three lists of preferred and avoided words in the poems dated between 1580 and 1610 (sub-corpus A), 1611 and 1618 (sub-corpus B) and 1619 and 1625 (sub-corpus C). The results obtained allow us to characterize the contrast between these three sub-corpus, suggest an evolution of Góngora’s aesthetics and confirm a change produced in the poems written between 1611 and 1618. However, while Stylo may be useful for detecting a trend or dominant aesthetics, we believe that the data generated is unsatisfactory for analyzing the style at the scale of the sentence.
