Paradigm levelling in Spanish as a case of Root Shrinking
/
Vanden Wyngaerd, Guido (Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven (1970- ))
Spanish has three verb classes, identified by three different theme vowels: -a, e, and -i. The verbs show three different types of paradigm levelling, whereby verb class distinctions are neutralised, either in whole or in part. [...]

Strong and weak resultatives with result roots in English and Spanish
/
Smith, Ryan W. (Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey) ;

Yu, Jianrong (Independent Researcher)
We consider a subclass of result verbs in Rappaport Hovav & Levin's (2010) sense built on roots that entail change (Beavers & Koontz-Garboden, 2020), e. g. , break, melt, explode, and tear. We argue that this class of roots possesses different grammatical properties between English and Spanish with respect to resultative constructions: these roots productively appear in both strong and weak resultatives in English but form only weak resultatives in Spanish (Washio, 1997). [...]

The aspectual value of particle verbs in Romansh : Syntactic convergence through intense language contact
/
Hotz, Rolf (The University of Sydney) ;
Julmi, Nora (Leiden University)
Particle verbs or phrasal verbs, i. e. , combinations of a preposition-like element and a verb, are common among the languages of Europe and best known from Germanic, but their systematic aspectual use in Romansh, a minority Romance language of Southeastern Switzerland, has gone largely unrecognized in the literature.

Mocci, Davide (University of Cagliari) ;
Greco, Matteo (Istituto Universitario di Studi Superiori di Pavia) ;
Moro, Andrea (Istituto Universitario di Studi Superiori di Pavia)
In the generative tradition, the conditions on subextraction (i. e. , the extraction from a phrase XP) have been captured by either one of the following incompatible formulations: (i) a formulation based on the notion of phase (the PIC, i. [...]

Commitment datives
/
Borik, Olga (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (Espanya)) ;
Teomiro, Ismael (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (Espanya))
In this paper we argue for a division in the category of ethical datives by identifying a new type of dative: the commitment dative. These datives are clitics that appear in directive sentences, always refer to the speaker, have no effect on the at-issue content as they cannot be negated, passivized nor topicalized, cannot be doubled by a PP (unlike other kinds of ethical datives such as affected experiencers), allow for PCC violations, and are banned in (indirect speech/reporting) embedded clauses. [...]
