Following previous work by the authors (Ponce de León & Duarte 2013; Duarte & Ponce de León 2015; Duarte & Ponce de León 2017; Duarte & Ponce de León 2018; Ponce de León & Duarte 2020), the paper aims to analyse the discourse values of the Spanish forms ahora (que) / ahora bien - studied in detail by specialists (Martín Zorraquino & Portolés 1999; Santos Río 2003; Fuentes 2009; Loureda & Acín 2010) - and their correspondences with Portuguese discourse markers, by analysing Portuguese translations of Spanish literary texts. The paper is divided in three parts: a) In the first part, following our previous work (Ponce de León & Duarte 2020) and other studies - some of them cited above - that analyse discourse markers, the different discourse values assumed by these forms are briefly presented and analysed, from a synchronic and diachronic perspective, based on grammatical and lexicographical resources, as well as on Spanish corpora. b) In the second part, the correspondences of the analysed values of ahora (que) / ahorabien with Portuguese expressions, ora and agora are determined. Studies on these Portuguese markers (Duarte 1989; Gonçalves 2004; Marques & Rei 2020) are used to establish these correspondences. c) In the third part, the correspondences of ahora (que) / ahora bien in a corpus of translations into Portuguese of Spanish-language literary texts are studied, trying to clarify the acceptability of different translation solutions for each value of the forms ahora (que) / ahora bien.
