The study reveals the structure and functions of the Soqotri rich pronominal system. The Study follows a descriptive method, therefore, showing no argumentation. New data were collected from the field in 2012 and added to the study.
A part of the data presented in the study has been taken from my PhD thesis written in 2009. The Pronominal System of the Soqotri Dialects: A structural and functional Studyįull Text Available This study aims at describing structurally and functionally the pronominal system of the three main dialects of Soqotri, an endangered Modern south Arabian language spoken in the Island of Soqotra, Yemen. Here I intend to examine this situation and propose the clasification I consider reflects the linguistic reality. As has been described along the Spanish grammatical tradition, in its evolution from Latin to Spanish, the language experienced a number of changes in its pronominal system embodying a series of paradigms that need a critical review. From my point of view, that is the case for pronouns. Quite frequently also, as they intended to develop the grammatical thinking establishing certain categories or divisions among them, these authors originated errors that have been perpetuated in their texts. In fact, the methodology conveniences they chose to establish regular models, led grammarians to false the reality of the language. These texts show that the history of grammatics is frequently a history of errors.
Revisión del sistema pronominal españolįull Text Available This article offers a critical review of the Spanish pronominal system (personal, possessive and demonstrative pronouns as described in Nebrija's works and in those of the 16th and 17th century grammarians. The (microvariation in clitic order patterns will be accounted for through the interplay of verb movement and the Proclisis Parameter: when languages set the value ‘yes’ for this parameter, proclisis is the dominant pattern, whereas in languages setting the value ‘no’ for the same parameter, enclisis dominantly occurs other differences between Romance languages and, in particular, EP and BP, are accounted for by the properties of the nodes T and Asp, namely, their ability to attract V and or to check uninterpretable features through Agree without Attract. We claim that pronominal clitics are defective functional heads consisting of a bundle of φ-features, and hence, that they are merged in a fixed position in the functional structure of the clause. Pronominal Clitics in European and Brazilian Portugueseĭirectory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)įull Text Available This paper addresses two issues, the categorial nature of ( pronominal clitics and the conditions ruling their surface distribution as proclitics and enclitics, which we take as related.
