초록
In this paper we examine the Spanish null subject pro of Corporate Reading whose realization is displayed with the third person plural verbal agreement of the agentive predicate. The Corporate Reading is related to predicates such as ‘entregar el correo(deliver the mail)’, ‘operar a pacientes(operate on patients)’, ‘aumentar los impuestos(raise taxes)’ which are associated with a designated group carrying out the activity (e.g. carteros(postmen), médicos(doctors), and gobiernos(governments) (cf. Pesetsky(1995)). In English, the overt pronoun ‘they’ is used for the Corporate Reading, but in Spanish, the null pronoun pro is used. To make a detailed analysis of Spanish Corporate Reading, we present a description of this phenomenon and its relation with Arbitrary Plural Constructions(cf. Jaeggli(1986)). Then, we make a syntactic-semantic analysis of the aforementioned constructions along with Agent-defocusing, existential and universal reading and the se-impsersonal constructions. We propose that the third person plural agreement and the agentive null subject pro are morphosyntactic prerequisites for Spanish Arbitrary Plural Constructions with Corporate Reading.
Abstract
In this paper we examine the Spanish null subject pro of Corporate Reading whose realization is displayed with the third person plural verbal agreement of the agentive predicate. The Corporate Reading is related to predicates such as ‘entregar el correo(deliver the mail)’, ‘operar a pacientes(operate on patients)’, ‘aumentar los impuestos(raise taxes)’ which are associated with a designated group carrying out the activity (e.g. carteros(postmen), médicos(doctors), and gobiernos(governments) (cf. Pesetsky(1995)). In English, the overt pronoun ‘they’ is used for the Corporate Reading, but in Spanish, the null pronoun pro is used. To make a detailed analysis of Spanish Corporate Reading, we present a description of this phenomenon and its relation with Arbitrary Plural Constructions(cf. Jaeggli(1986)). Then, we make a syntactic-semantic analysis of the aforementioned constructions along with Agent-defocusing, existential and universal reading and the se-impsersonal constructions. We propose that the third person plural agreement and the agentive null subject pro are morphosyntactic prerequisites for Spanish Arbitrary Plural Constructions with Corporate Reading.
