This paper presents a new method ‐ which does not rely on the cut‐elimination theorem ‐ for characterizing the provably total functions of certain intuitionistic subsystems of arithmetic. The new method hinges on a realizability argument within an infinitary language. We illustrate the method for the intuitionistic counterpart of Buss's theory S   2 1 , and we briefly sketch it for the other levels of bounded arithmetic and for the theory IΣ 1 .
