“Decorative” morphology in Spanish
Human languages are hypothesized to be adapted to the functions they fulfill. Specifically, their structure has been claimed to be optimized for efficient communication and easy learning. Nonetheless, languages also exhibit many “extravagant” features, with no clear role in information transfer or language acquisition. Building on typological research on this topic, in this paper we present evidence that varieties of Spanish (colloquial mostly) f…
Cómo apreciar la diversidad lingüística y no aburrirse en el intento
En el sistema educativo español actual, se abordanfrecuentemente contenidos relacionados con la variedad lingüísticaen la asignatura de Lengua Castellana y Literatura. Estos versansobre temas como el origen histórico de la variación lingüísticapeninsular, la situación de bilingüismo y diglosia en algunasComunidades Autónomas, el español de América, y algunosconceptos técnicos, como los de variedad diatópica, diastrática,diacrónica y diafásica.

Viewpointed morphology
Spanish verb-complement (VC) compounds, one of the most common compound types in Spanish, raise interesting questions, because they are inflected, prototypically containing a verb in the third-person singular of the present indicative. This complexity seems paradoxical, given the strong restrictions of Romance languages on word compounding. Based on a self-compiled corpus of over 1,400 VC compounds, we show that the compound’s verb may display di…
Are Verb-Noun Compounds Syntactically or Lexically Related to Verb Phrases
This paper explores the links between Spanish verb-noun (VN) compounds and verb phrases (VPs) ( limpiabotas lit. ‘clean+boots’ ‘shoe shine’/ limpiar botas ‘to clean boots’), particularly between those with idiomatic meaning ( metepatas lit. ‘put+paws’ ‘bungler’/ meter la pata lit. ‘put the paw’ ‘to put your foot in it’). I discuss the theoretical implications of different accounts of the phrase-compound divide, namely, whether or not compounds ar…
The Spell-Out of Non-Heads in Spanish Compounds
This paper considers the morphophonological variants found in the non-head position of Spanish productive compound patterns. In the literature it has been noted that compounds resort to both I- and O-ending stems and words (even inflected ones) to spell-out compound non-heads. The study takes a nanosyntactic approach to compound syntax and examines the functional structure of the main classes of Spanish compounds. The goal of the analysis is to s…
