The simple and the periphrastic past in spoken (Valencian) Catalan as evidence against zero in inflectional morphology
We analyze the substitution of the simple past by the periphrastic go -past in spoken Valencian Catalan. Corpus data show that this substitution is especially prominent in 1/3 sg forms which are at the same time the least morphologically transparent ones. From this observation, we derive a relation between lack of transparency and the need for a periphrastic form. Based on synchronic and diachronic arguments, we reject the possibility of zero exp…
Null or Nothing
Zero elements are used by several theories in morphology and syntax as analytical tool, but the question of whether phonologically empty elements should be structurally present or not has been a controversial issue from the very beginning. In addition to analyses that work with zero, there are also a whole series of works that explicitly reject a description with zero or allow them only under restricted circumstances. This volume aims at getting …
Subject expression and position with the verb form dize/dice ‘says’ in Spanish
In contemporary Spanish, the verb decir ‘say’ presents idiosyncratic behavior regarding subject expression and position. In spoken Peninsular Spanish, decir strongly favors postverbal subjects, unlike other transitive or ditransitive verbs. The present paper focuses on the diachrony of the verb form dice / dize , tracing back the syntactic patterns in diachronic data extracted from the Corpus del Español from the 13th to the 21st century. Our aim…
Speaker subject expression with verbs of cognition – think/believe in Italian and Spanish
In this paper, we study 1st person subject pronoun realization with verbs of cognition in spoken Spanish and Italian corpus data. Previous studies have shown particularly frequent overt subjects with 1st person singular (yo) creo ‘(I) think/believe’ in Spanish. However, there have been no in-depth studies of the corresponding Italian structure. We thus examine whether the same patterns can be observed in these two consistent pro-drop Romance lang…
Jo dic, digo yo
En este artículo se investiga la expresión de sujeto en dos lenguas de sujeto nulo canónicas – castellano y catalán. Analizamos diferentes usos del verbo decir/dir en dos corpus orales: el corpus PRESEEA (Madrid y Alcalá) y el Corpus Oral de Conversa Col·loquial (COC). De especial importancia es el uso del verbum dicendi en contextos de estilo directo, ya que observamos un grado de pragmaticalización hacia partículas citativas en las dos lenguas,…
Pseudorelative clauses, infinitives, and gerunds with Spanish perception verbs
In this paper, we provide a comparative analysis of three constructions that occur with perception verbs like ver ("see") in Spanish: infinitives, gerunds, and so-called pseudorelative clauses. We analyze several phenomena regarding the transparency status of the embedded inflected or uninflected clause, such as the availability of long (i.e., matrix) passive, short (i.e., embedded) passive, the occurrence of modal verbs, embedded negation, and l…
Perspectival factors and pro-drop
This paper examines overt and covert speaker/addressee pronouns with the cognitive verbs creer ‘think/believe’ and saber ‘know’ in a corpus of spoken peninsular Spanish – the Madrid and Alcalá samples of PRESEEA (2014– ) – with a focus on 1st person singular (yo) creo que ‘(I) think that’. Departing from the observation made in the literature that overt pronouns are highly frequent with creer and that topic shift cannot account for all of them, i…
On finite subject-to-object raising in Spanish
In this paper, we analyze inflected complements of perceptive, causative and permissive verbs in which the null subject is obligatorily co-referent with the matrix object antecedent. Even though these configurations have mostly received a control or a ‘pseudo-relative’ analysis in Spanish, we argue that the structure is best explained by means of finite ‘subject-to-object’ raising, which has been proposed for languages like Greek, Romanian, Japan…
