In recent years, the analysis of discourse markers in peninsular Spanish has drawn the interest of researchers and stimulated the productions of a considerable number of studies. This articles analyzes the discourse markers included in two subcorpora of legal texts, one retrieved from the 'BOE' ('Boletín Oficial del Estado') and the other from the 'DOUE' ('Diario Oficial de la Unión Europea'). The analysis identifies the most frequent classes of discourse markers in both subcorpora and assesses whether the 'DOUE' texts, which are actually translations, are characterized by the same distribution of discourse markers as the texts originally written in Spanish included in the 'BOE' subcorpus.
