초록

It has been shown in recent years that generative grammar can be a compelling theoretical framework for understanding sociolinguistic phenomena in syntactic terms. Specifically, morphosyntactic variation in South American Spanish spoken in the areas in contact with indigenous languages has been focused on in a wide range of studies from the generative perspective (see Gutiérrez-Rexach and Sessarego 2014 and the references therein). This paper puts forth an account of Guarani possessive constructions and nonstandard variation of Paraguayan Spanish possessive constructions that arise due to the interference of the former language, adopting Georgi and Müller’s(2010) reprojection approach to head movement. It is shown that a reprojection-based analysis can yield a uniformexplanation of the referred possessive constructions, and correctly predict the restrictions on the possessor-denoting elements in the latter case.

Abstract

It has been shown in recent years that generative grammar can be a compelling theoretical framework for understanding sociolinguistic phenomena in syntactic terms. Specifically, morphosyntactic variation in South American Spanish spoken in the areas in contact with indigenous languages has been focused on in a wide range of studies from the generative perspective (see Gutiérrez-Rexach and Sessarego 2014 and the references therein). This paper puts forth an account of Guarani possessive constructions and nonstandard variation of Paraguayan Spanish possessive constructions that arise due to the interference of the former language, adopting Georgi and Müller’s(2010) reprojection approach to head movement. It is shown that a reprojection-based analysis can yield a uniformexplanation of the referred possessive constructions, and correctly predict the restrictions on the possessor-denoting elements in the latter case.
