Normally one says that if you don't know which one to use, use especially. It's more common than the other, so the chances that it will fit is bigger. Note that this is not a rule, but just a little help.

And I don't think auxiliary adverb is a proper term for especially, since in the examples you gave once works modifying another adverb (2. especially well), and once works modifying a verb (4. made especially). The conclusion is that it works both, as much linked to an adverb as linked to a verb, as any other adverb. Anyway, I had never heard before of the term auxiliary adverb, and Google only gives 84 entries for it, not all of them related to this subject. <snip>

My conclusion is that when it means specifically you can use both. And what about the adjectives? I guess special and especial work the same as their related adverbs. Am I right?

As far as the adjective forms, the former is used almost exclusively in American English. I've never heard anyone say especial. |

When especially describes the adverb it is auxiliary much the way very (muy) is. If another word for auxiliary suits you, find it and use it. The word specially doesn't fulfill that function as well. Auxiliary means help it helps discribe the main adverb or adjective. (He is especially tall. He works especially well.) In this function the word especially (like very) doesn't stand on its own. It supports a principal adverb or adjective and is therefore auxiliary.. I will repeat especially should be used when it is followed by a prepositional phrase. Feel free to google yourself silly and find 84 entries or 184 entries or 184,000 entries. It doesn't matter. What I've written makes perfect sense. <snip>

I think Poli's and Rusty's explanations clear this up pretty well, especially post #10

The term is particularizer adverb http://www.ucl.ac.uk/internet-grammar/glossary/p.htm. These adverbs function differently from other types of adverbs, and need to be categorized separately. Although they are auxiliary by function, particularizer is the canonical word -- a word I've never seen before.
