  • Re-examining the ‘origins’ of the prenominal periphrastic Possessive Construction Jan z’n boek in Dutch: An empirical approach
    Diachronica, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jennifer Hendriks
    Abstract:

    The dative reanalysis ‘origins’ explanation for prenominal periphrastic Possessive Constructions (PPPCs) in Dutch has been maintained for well over a century. This paper brings new evidence to bear on this hypothesis, arguing that while genitive relational case marking on the possessor NP in earlier Dutch PPPCs is clearly attested, we lack evidence that the dative was used in this way. Instead, two types of case marking strategies are in use in earlier Dutch PPPCs — one relational and one concordial — as a solution to case conflict in instances which would otherwise give rise to double case marking. Historical and present-day dialect data from German is also examined to address the common assumption that developments in Dutch PPPCs mirrored those in German. Similar to Dutch, clear evidence attests to genitive relational case marking in earlier German PPPCs.

  • A variationist approach to the study of adverbial locative phrases in Spanish : The case of Constructions such as "delante mío"
    Stockholms universitet Romanska och klassiska institutionen, 2017
    Co-Authors: Marttinen Larsson Matti
    Abstract:

    El presente trabajo abarca el estudio de la variación en las construcciones adverbiales locativas. Esta variación se manifiesta en dos niveles: (1) la alternancia entre la construcción estándar ADVERBIO + preposición de + PRONOMBRE PERSONAL (por ejemplo, delante de mí), y su variante normativamente no recomendada ADVERBIO + PRONOMBRE POSESIVO (por ejemplo, delante mío); y (2) la alternancia entre la construcción posesiva con el sufijo -o (por ejemplo, delante mío), y la construcción posesiva con el sufijo -a (por ejemplo, delante mía), variante normativamente aún más disuadida. El objetivo fue estudiar estas dos variables lingüísticas y sus posibles predictores sociolingüísticos. Con esta finalidad, se han analizado datos provenientes de Twitter. La recolección de datos se llevó a cabo en febrero del 2017. Se recogieron 2357 observaciones de construcciones adverbiales locativas de 21 países de habla hispana (incluyendo los Estados Unidos), de las cuales 1006 eran de la variante posesiva. En cuanto a la variación entre construcciones preposicionales y posesivas, se clasificaron los datos según cuatro variables independientes: el género (o sexo) del tuitero, la procedencia geográfica del tuit, el tipo de adverbio precedente y el número gramatical del referente. Con relación al uso del sufijo -a del posesivo, las observaciones fueron clasificadas según dos variables adicionales: la vocal final del adverbio y el género del referente gramatical. Se ha construido un modelo estadístico de regresión logística que mide el efecto de las variables independientes investigadas sobre el uso de (1) la construcción con el posesivo y (2) la construcción con el posesivo del sufijo -a respectivamente. Referente a (1), la alternancia en los complementos, el análisis revela que la zona dialectal del tuitero, el tipo del adverbio precedente y el número gramatical son los factores estadísticamente significativos para predecir el uso de la construcción posesiva. En lo que concierne a (2), la alternancia en los sufijos del posesivo, los datos apuntan a que tanto la zona dialectal del tuitero como el género del referente gramatical condicionan el uso del posesivo con la desinencia -a. The present thesis studies the morphosyntactic variation in adverbial locative phrases in Spanish. This variation occurs at two levels: (1) the alternation between the standard Construction ADVERB + the preposition de + PERSONAL PRONOUN (as in delante de mí) and the normatively nonstandard Construction ADVERB + Possessive PRONOUN (as in delante mío); (2) the alternation between the Possessive Construction with the suffix -o (as in delante mío), and the Possessive Construction with the suffix -a (as in delante mía), the last variant being normatively highly discouraged. The goal of this study was to investigate these two linguistic variables and their possible sociolinguistic predictors. The data was obtained by API searches of Twitter data in February of 2017 and yielded material from 21 Spanish-speaking countries (including the US). 2357 tweets containing the Constructions of interest were gathered, of which 1006 were Possessive Constructions. Concerning the alternation between Constructions with prepositions and Possessives, the data was coded according to four independent variables: the gender (or sex) of the Twitter user, the location of the user, the type of adverb used in the phrase, and the grammatical number of the referent. As to the use of the suffix -a with Possessives, two additional variables were coded for, the final vowel of the preceding adverb and grammatical gender of the referent. A statistical model was constructed in order to measure the effect of the independent variables on the use of (1) the Possessive Construction, and (2) the Possessive Construction with the suffix -a, respectively. The results of the first analysis indicate that the geographical region of the Twitter user, as well as the preceding adverb and the grammatical number of the referent, were statistically significant in predicting the use of the Possessive Construction. Furthermore, with regards to the variation in the suffix of the Possessive pronoun, the analysis supports the view that the geographical region of the user and the grammatical gender of the referent are predictors that condition the use of the Possessive pronoun with the suffix -a.

  • 'Delante suyo' vs. 'delante de él': el uso de las locuciones adverbiales locativas desde una perspectiva diacrónica y diatópica
    2017
    Co-Authors: Marttinen Larsson Matti, Álvarez López Laura
    Abstract:

    This paper deals with the use of two spatial adverbial Constructions in Spanish: locative adverb + Possessive pronoun (as in “delante suyo”), that alternates with the normative form locative adverb + [preposition de + personal pronoun] (as in “delante de él”). The study presents an overview of its historical and geographic distribution, a topic which has not been deeply approached before. The analyzed materials consist of the main three corpora of Spanish (CORDE, CREA and CORPES XXI). The starting point is that the Construction with the Possessive form is present in all Spanish speaking regions and that it alternates with the prepositional Construction. Based on empirical data and earlier studies, this paper finds that the Possessive Construction can be found in almost all Spanish speaking regions, but that it was first used and has its origin in Peninsular varieties of Spanish and has the highest frequency of use in the River Plate region. O presente artigo estuda o uso de duas locuções adverbiais locativas em espanhol: advérbio locativo + pronome possessivo (“delante suyo”), que alterna com advérbio locativo + [preposição de + pronome pessoal] (“delante de él”). A análise apresenta um panorama da distribuição histórica e geográfica dessa construção, um tema que ainda não foi abordado com profundidade em estudos anteriores. O material analisado consiste nos três corpus principais da língua espanhola: CORDE, CREA e CORPES XXI. Partimos da hipótese que, no caso do uso do possessivo, trata-se de um fenômeno que estende-se pelo mundo hispânico e que, recentemente, vem difundindo-se e competindo com a construção preposicional. Com base nos dados empíricos, e considerando estudos anteriores, comprova-se que a forma possessiva registra-se em quase todo o mundo hispânico, mas que apresenta uma tradição de uso mais longa na Espanha, e tem a frequência de uso mais alta na região do Prata. El presente artículo estudia dos locuciones adverbiales locativas en castellano: adverbio locativo + pronombre posesivo (“delante suyo”), que alterna con adverbio locativo + [preposición de + pronombre personal] (“delante de él”).

Con base en los datos empíricos, y considerando estudios anteriores, se comprueba que la forma posesiva se registra en casi todo el mundo hispánico, pero que presenta una tradición de uso más larga en España y tiene la frecuencia de uso más alta en la región del Plata.

  • Evaluative prenominal Possessives in Spanish
    Septentrio Academic Publishing, 2018
    Co-Authors: Luis Eguren
    Abstract:

    In this paper, the properties of Spanish evaluative prenominal Possessives (i.e. the affective Possessive preceding a proper name, the so-called “emphatic Possessive”, and the Possessive in the Old and American Spanish doubled Possessive Construction) are thoroughly described, and compared with those of canonical prenominal Possessives. It is mainly proposed that evaluative Possessives, in contrast to canonical prenominal Possessives, are not base-generated as nominal modifiers and then raise to D0, but are directly merged (mostly) within the DP domain, thus capturing the fact that affective, emphatic and doubling Possessives just evaluate the relation between the possessum and the possessor, and are not interpreted as complements of the noun. In order to account for their different distribution, it is further argued that the three types of Spanish evaluative prenominal Possessives are inserted (basically) in different structural positions in an split-DP

    Co-Authors: Luis Eguren
    Abstract:

    AbstractThis paper presents a cross-linguistic analysis of the Old and American Spanish doubled Possessive Construction, in which the possessor is doubly marked in a nominal phrase by means of both a third person prenominal Possessive pronoun and a prepositional Possessive phrase (
