    abstract = "This paper investigates the grammaticalization of the noun caleta `cove, village' to an inten- sifier, as part of the system of degree words in Chilean Spanish. We use word embeddings trained on a corpus of tweets to show the on- going syntactic and semantic change of caleta, while also revealing how high degree is ex- pressed in colloquial Chilean Spanish."
