31 p, 540.6 KB Neither agreement nor pronouns : clitic doubling and Weak Crossover in Rioplatense Spanish / Saab, Andrés (University of Buenos Aires)
Baker & Kramer (2018) suggests that the distribution of clitic doubling in Spanish follows from Weak Crossover. Thus, the fact that in accusative clitic doubling bare wh-phrases cannot be doubled (e. [...]

25 p, 577.0 KB Possessives and spatial expressions in Spanish / Fernández Soriano, Olga (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) ; Ordoñez, Francisco (Stony Brook University (SUNY))
The aim of this paper is to analyze a type of Spanish (and Romance) complex locative non-directional prepositional expressions taking a genitive complement, like encima/cerca de ("on top/near of"). We will center our attention on an alternation that has gone unnoticed by most theoretical and descriptive grammars: this genitive complement may appear as an argument of the main predicate and show dative case (se sentó encima de Juan, "(S)he sat on top of Juan" > se le sentó encima, "Lit.

26 p, 423.2 KB The modularty of agreement variation / Ormazabal, Javier (Basque Center for Language Research) ; Romero, Juan (Universidad de Extremadura)
In this article, following Ormazabal & Romero (2022) insights, a modular approach to agreement variation is proposed where syntactic relations are uniform, dialectal variation is determined in morphology, and extragrammatical modules deal with sociolinguistic variation. [...]

43 p, 4.4 MB Events and copulas : an approach to a phenomenon of variation across Spanish dialects / Escribano, Gonzalo (Universidad de Alcalá)
This paper focuses on the study of a particular phenomenon of variation related to the distribution of Spanish copulas: the (in)compatibility of event nouns with predication structures where the copula estar and an evaluative adjective are combined. [...]

23 p, 453.9 KB On morphological alternation and late insertion : Spanish Analogical Strong Preterits under the microscope / Mare, María (Universidad Nacional del Comahue) ; Pato, Enrique (Université de Montréal)
This paper discusses morphological alternations in the so-called strong preterits in Spanish. The starting point is the variation phenomenon known as Analogical Strong Preterits, which is characterized by the formation of 3PL on the basis of 3SG, adding the exponent /n/: dij-o-n, instead of general dije-ro-n 'they said'.

27 p, 494.3 KB Lessons from overtly-headed exclamatives in Spanish varieties : Implications for the account of obligatory subject-verb inversion / Villa-García, Julio (University of Oviedo)
Inverting wh-exclamative sentences with an overt complementizer in languages like Spanish pose a serious challenge to traditional accounts of obligatory subject-verb inversion. Such analyses assume either T-to-C movement or Spec,TP as an A-bar position capable of hosting wh-phrases and subjects alike. [...]

29 p, 548.3 KB Types of zero complements in French and Spanish prepositional phrases : new evidence from acceptability judgment experiments / Heidinger, Steffen (University of Graz)
Some French prepositions can appear without an overt complement. The discussion about the status of such zero complements (starting with Zribi-Hertz's (1984a, 1984b) seminal work) is still ongoing. More recently, Authier (2016) argued that French prepositions are heterogeneous in this respect: The zero complement of only some prepositions is a null pronoun (e. [...]

This paper investigates the properties of GO and TAKE used as functional verbs to express the beginning of an action or a state (inchoativity) or a sense of surprise, wonder, astonishment, or regret (mirativity) as found in a group of multiple verb constructions, in a macro-comparative perspective.
