Leonetti, Manuel – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2018
This paper argues against the assumption that Spanish--and more generally Romance--imperfective past (IMP) is an intrinsically anaphoric tense. It is a widely accepted view that IMP requires a temporal discourse antecedent to be licensed. My aim is to show that such requirement is not actually in force when IMP combines with a stative/atelic…

López Otero, Julio César; Cuza, Alejandro; Jiao, Jian – Second Language Research, 2023
The present study examines the production and intuition of Spanish clitics in clitic left dislocation (CLLD) structures among 26 Spanish heritage speakers (HSs) born and raised in Brazil.

Alario, F.-Xavier; Ayora, Pauline; Costa, Albert; Melinger, Alissa – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
Closed-class word selection was investigated by focusing on determiner production. Native speakers from three different languages named pictures of objects using determiner plus noun phrases (e.g., in French "la table" (the [subscript feminine] table), while ignoring distractor determiners printed on the pictures (e.g., "le"…

Examples used are where the infinitive phrase is the predicate nominative with the verb "ser," where the infinitive acts as the grammatical subject, and where the infinitive phrase is a…

Marin, Diego – Bulletin Real Academia Espanola, 1976
While the prenominal or postnominal position of descriptive adjectives in Spanish has been widely discussed, there is a partial aspect of this topic which is either ignored or dealt with in a perfunctory manner, namely, the possible existence of a semantic principle determining the sequence of descriptive adjectives in coordinate series of two or…

Sanchez, Rosaura – Aztlan, 1976
The range of Spanish varieties found among Chicanos is broad and can be expressed in terms of a linguistic continuum where particular varieties or rules are triggered by the presence of social and economic factors which permeate the relationships among speakers involved in a locutionary act.
