Download or read book Prepositional Clauses in Spanish written by Manuel Delicado Cantero and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an analysis of Spanish prepositional clauses () - complement and adverbial clauses. The goal is to examine the syntax and evolution of those clauses and their components in Spanish, contrasting them with other European languages. Prepositional argument and adjunct clauses are grammatical in present-day Spanish. However, Medieval Spanish only attests the latter; the former were not frequent until the 16th/17th centuries. Both types are examined in their syntactic evolution and properties, including clausal nominality, argumenthood, nature of prepositions, and optionality. Latin and Portuguese, French, and Italian - both in their present-day and past forms - are studied and compared to Spanish. Likewise, several Germanic languages are surveyed. These languages show variable grammatical degrees of . The comparison reveals aspects which challenge the commonly accepted conclusions about the clausal patterns of each language. This study offers a novel approach to the analysis of Spanish prepositional clauses by looking at its properties and formation not only from within but also in contrast with other languages. It argues for cross-linguistically valid categories and explanations in order to comprehend the properties of human language.

Download or read book Object Pronouns in Dependent Clauses written by Winthrop Holt Chenery and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excerpt from the INTRODUCTION. I. Definition of Title. The title of this work, Object-Pronouns in Dependent Clauses: A Study in Old Spanish Word-Order, is perhaps too inclusive. The investigation concerns itself only with the phenomenon which I shall call interpolation. Throughout this study, interpolation will be used to mean the interpolation, between an unstressed object-pronoun and its following governing verb, of another word or other words, not unstressed object-pronouns in similar construction. In Old Spanish this phenomenon is almost without exception confined to dependent clauses, i.e., clauses that begin with a subordinating conjunction, a relative pronoun, or a relative adverb with conjunctional force. II. Previous Notices Of Interpolation. Interpolation is merely mentioned by Diez, but with no attempt to determine the conditions of its occurrence. I find the next reference in Reinhardstoettner's Grammatik der portugiesischen Sprache (1878), s. 391.1 Paul Foerster, in his Spanische Sprachlehre (1880) merely distinguishes interpolation as of two sorts, the first with the negative particle, the second with other words.2 R. Thurneysen (Zeitschrift f. rom. Phil, xvi (1892), ss. 289-307, Zur Stellung des Verbums im Altfranzösischen) discusses the position of unstressed words and seeks to prove that the latter tend to become enclitic to the first stressed word of the sentence or clause. Incidentally he mentions interpolation in Old Spanish and Portuguese and raises the question whether the cases of it are archaisms or innovations. Emil Gessner (Zeitschr. , xvii (1893), ss. 1-54, Das spanische Personalpronomen) briefly notices the phenomenon without, however, defining the syntactical conditions of its occurrence. His notice is chiefly valuable for its chronological data with regard to the disappearance of interpolation in Spanish.4 S. Gräfenberg (Rom. Forsch., Vii (1893), s. 547) in the grammatical notes to his edition of Don Juan Manuel's Libro del Cavallero et del Escudero mentions the postposition of the particle non to the object-pronoun but does not notice any other variety of interpolation. Meyer-Lübke (Zeitschr. f. rom. Ph., xxi (1897), ss. 313334, Zur Stellung der tonlosen Objektspronomina im Romanischen) maintains with Thurneysen that unstressed object-pronouns were originally always enclitic and considers interpolation in Old Spanish and Portuguese to be a survival of Latin usage. He also attempts to define the syntactical categories in which interpolation usually occurs. In the Grammatik der romanischen Sprachen, in, s. 764, § 715, Meyer-Lübke sums up the argument of the Zeitichrift article but omits all reference to the syntactical categories....

Download or read book Syntactical Dictionary of Spanish Prepositions and Verbs written by Dee Eldredge and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign language dictionaries give meanings of verbs and prepositions, but they do not tell the reader how to use them very well. That is what this dictionary does. It furnishes the user three items: (1) most of the syntactical constructions that a verb or a preposition allows, (2) sample sentences both in Spanish and English of each verb's possible usages, and (3) each verb's conjugations, so that those wanting to know how to conjugate a verb do not have to go to another source to look up its conjugations. (It should be noted that the definition of a preposition is expanded here to include many words that traditionally have been called "adverbs.") It can be a very useful tool for students learning Spanish to help them put together sentences. It can also be very helpful for Spanish teachers and linguists to learn of a very creative way to explain syntax.

Download or read book Understanding Morphology written by Martin Haspelmath and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of Understanding Morphology has been fully revised in line with the latest research. It now includes 'big picture' questions to highlight central themes in morphology, as well as research exercises for each chapter. Understanding Morphology presents an introduction to the study of word structure that starts at the very beginning. Assuming no knowledge of the field of morphology on the part of the reader, the book presents a broad range of morphological phenomena from a wide variety of languages. Starting with the core areas of inflection and derivation, the book presents the interfaces between morphology and syntax and between morphology and phonology. The synchronic study of word structure is covered, as are the phenomena of diachronic change, such as analogy and grammaticalization. Theories are presented clearly in accessible language with the main purpose of shedding light on the data, rather than as a goal in themselves. The authors consistently draw on the best research available, thus utilizing and discussing both functionalist and generative theoretical approaches. Each chapter includes a summary, suggestions for further reading, and exercises. As such this is the ideal book for both beginning students of linguistics, or anyone in a related discipline looking for a first introduction to morphology.

Download or read book Noun Phrase in the Generative Perspective written by Artemis Alexiadou and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is twofold. On the one hand we want to offer a discussion of some of the more important properties of the nominal projection, on the other hand we want to provide the reader with tools for syntactic analysis which apply to the structure of DP but which are also relevant for other domains of syntax. In order to achieve this dual goal we will discuss phenomena which are related to the nominal projection in relation to other syntactic phenomena (e.g. pro drop will be related to N-ellipsis, the classification of pronouns will be applied to the syntax of possessive pronouns, N-movement will be compared to V-movement, the syntax of the genitive construction will be related to that of predicate inversion etc.). In the various chapters we will show how recent theoretical proposals (distributed morphology, anti-symmetry, checking theory) can cast light on aspects of the syntax of the NP. When necessary, we will provide a brief introduction of these theoretical proposals. We will also indicate problems with these analyses, whether they be inherent to the theories as such (e.g. what is the trigger for movement in antisymmetric approaches) or to the particular instantiations. The book cannot and will not provide the definitive analysis of the syntax of noun phrases. We consider that this would not be possible, given the current flux in generative syntax, with many new theoretical proposals being developed and explored, but the book aims at giving the reader the tools with which to conduct research and to evaluate proposals in the literature. In the discussion of various issues, we will apply the framework that is most adequate to deal with problems at hand. We will therefore not necessarily use the same approach throughout the discussion. Though proposals in the literature will be referred to when relevant, we cannot attempt to provide a critical survey of the literature. We feel that such a survey would be guided too strongly by theoretical choices, which would not be compatible with the pedagogical purposes this book has. The book is comparative in its approach, and data from different languages will be examined, including English, German, Dutch (West-Flemish), Greek, Romance, Semitic, Slavic, Albanian, Hungarian, Gungbe.
