Old Spanish and the Split V2 hypothesis
This paper uses Old Spanish as a case study to argue that verb-second (V2) syntax is not monolithic but instead involves a split between external merge (EM) and internal merge (IM) into the C-system. Building on Holmberg’s (2020) findings on Swedish, it demonstrates that the enclitic and proclitic patterns in Old Spanish finite main clauses serve as diagnostics for whether a V2 constituent reaches the preverbal field via EM or IM, reflecting a br…

The Genesis of Spanish /θ
This article proposes a revised model of the genesis of Castilian Spanish /θ/, based on (i) precise tracking across the Late Middle Ages of the orthographical d → z change in preconsonantal coda position and (ii) the potential for auditory indeterminacy between denti-alveolar variants of [s] and the non-sibilant [θ]. According to the findings, two non-sibilant phonemes, /θ/ and /ð/, are likely to have come into existence by the early 1500s, merge…
Rethinking Reader and Writer Responsibility in Academic English
There is a growing perception that English used as a lingua franca does not need to resemble English as a native language, but can include a great deal of lexicogrammatical variation. However, a more fundamental matter is whether research articles written in English need to conform to the dominant linear, deductive, ‘Anglo’ pattern of text organization, or whether non-native English speakers should be free to transfer rhetorical patterns from the…
Lexical innovation
In this article I look at the main ways of making new English words, and at the different types of neologisms this produces; consider various categories of people who coin them, including famous authors and television scriptwriters as well as anonymous nonnative speakers of English as a lingua franca, and highlight the similarities and differences in the ways they tend to coin words; consider to what extent the formation of new words by way of es…
Does science need a global language

Intercultural Negotiations
Intercultural Negotiations It is impossible to think about a world without negotiations, and in fact most of us negotiate several times a day. But does that imply that all of us are skilled negotiators? Probably not but negotiation skills can be trained and developed (e.g. Thompson, 2002). Not all negotiations are hard but negotiations in business often entail complex situations that involve people at different levels, from different companies’ e…
Se azotaron a los delincuentes
This paper looks at the stigmatized use of impersonal se with a plural verb and the prepositional accusative. While this pattern occurs commonly in speech and many forms of writing, it has to all intents been airbrushed from academic consideration of Spanish. On the one hand, the normative authorities dismiss it as an error and on the other it is studiously ignored by professional linguists. Given the pattern's de facto productivity, it is argued…

Relic syntax in Middle English and Medieval Spanish
This article looks at a hitherto unnoticed series of parallels between Middle English (ME) and Medieval Spanish (MS). In the first place, while both appear to have been essentially VO languages, they allow identical classes of object to move leftward over the verb. In ME, movement is normally to a position between the auxiliary and the main verb, whereas in MS the movement is normally to the left of the auxiliary, if one is present. Second, both …
English as a lingua franca in Europe
Many multilinguals in Europe habitually use the linguistic strategies often attributed to users of English as a lingua franca (ELF). ELF, in which native speaker norms are not invoked, may be the perfect arena for multilinguals to exploit what Vivian Cook calls ‘multicompetence’, a dynamic multilingual system in which more than one language can be activated at the same time. What might be considered, in the use of a native language, and from an S…

Bare Nouns in Spanish
BSS Subject Index: SPAIN — LANGUAGES — SPANISH LANGUAGE & ITS HISTORY — GENERAL
Marginal Codification in Spanish
All recent syntactic theories assume that sentences have a syntax which can be fully specified by explicit rules. Alarcos Llorach, for example, in his Gramática de la lengua española divides the members of the verb phrase into distinct categories according to the syntactical function performed by each. The present article demonstrates that these categories shade into one another, in such a way that on occasion certain forms cannot be definitively…
Pragmatism, Rhetoric, and History
Crossroads of Obstetrics and Lexicography
A lexicographic definition for the English adjective PREGNANT (in its main sense) is proposed. The form of the definition, as well as all the semantic components used, are argued for and justified; a comparison with the definitions of the same adjective in three authoritative dictionaries is offered. The discussion is carried out within the theoretical framework of the Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary
