• Co-occurrence Strength and Transitivity Effects on Spanish Clitic Case Variation With Reverse-Psychological Predicates 

      Guajardo, Gustavo Ariel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-19)
      Although the most frequent psychological predicates in Spanish require the third-person clitic experiencer to appear in dative case, there is a well-known subclass of predicates for which the case of the clitic alternates between accusative and dative. This alternation has been previously accounted for by certain grammatical properties of the clause containing the clitic as well as elements of ...
    • On the status of Concordantia Temporum in Spanish: An experimental approach 

      Guajardo, Gustavo Ariel; Goodall, Grant (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-23)
      Subjunctive clauses in Spanish are traditionally claimed to obey Concordantia Temporum (CT), an agreement in tense between the matrix and subjunctive clauses. Treating this phenomenon literally as agreement is problematic, so an analysis in which CT falls out from general principles of tense interpretation, as in Laca (2010a), is very attractive. Nevertheless, this analysis seems to make some <i>prima ...
    • The Transitivity Index: Using Transitivity as a continuous measure to account for clitic case alternation in Spanish causative constructions 

      Guajardo, Gustavo Ariel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-25)
      In Spanish causative constructions with <i>dejar</i> ‘let’ and <i>hacer</i> ‘make’ the subject of the embedded infinitive verb can appear in the accusative or the dative case. This case alternation has been accounted for by resorting to the notion of direct vs. indirect causation. Under this account, the accusative clitic with a transitive verb denotes direct causation while the dative clitic with ...
