Variation in Spanish clausal standards of comparison
Comparative constructions express a contrast between the information contained in two terms belonging to different categories. The first term is a quantificational phrase and the second, known as the standard of comparison, takes the form of nominal, adverbial or prepositional phrases, or different...

Las construcciones comparativas expresan un contraste informativo entre dos términos que sintácticamente conforman categorías diferentes: el primer término es una frase cuantificacional y el segundo, que expresa el estándar de comparación, puede manifestarse como una frase nominal, adverbial, o preposicional, o incluso como una cláusula, que puede ser relativa, reducida o presentar algún tipo de elipsis. Si bien existe cierto consenso en la bibliografía respecto de las variaciones tipológicas predecibles de la expresión de la comparación, la variación dialectal de estas construcciones constituye un área que requiere una indagación profunda. En español, las comparativas que resultan completamente productivas en una variedad son marginales o nada productivas en otra. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis de fenómenos de variación dialectal en codas comparativas clausales del español con el objetivo de evaluar la hipótesis de que la variación observable podría ser evidencia de un proceso de cambio según el cual la variedad rioplatense exhibiría un comportamiento ‘avanzado’ en comparación, por ejemplo, con el español peninsular. Este fenómeno ya se ha registrado para las mismas variedades en relación con otras construcciones, como es el caso del doblado de clítico acusativo. Facultad de Lenguas.

Comparative constructions express a contrast between the information contained in two terms belonging to different categories. The first term is a quantificational phrase and the second, known as the standard of comparison, takes the form of nominal, adverbial or prepositional phrases, or different types of clauses, which can be relative, reduced or contain ellipsis. While a general consensus has been reached on the typological properties subject to crosslinguistic variation, dialectal variation observed in the expression of these constructions has only recently begun to be explored. Spanish comparatives which are productive in one variety might be only marginally acceptable or agrammatical in another. An analysis of the patterns of variation that appear between different varieties of Spanish is presented with the aim to evaluate the hypothesis that the variation observed might be pointing at different stages in a diachronic process of change. American varieties of Spanish are in different stages as compared to each other, and to European Spanish, for example. The relation between cycles of diachronic change and (synchronic) variation between different dialects of Spanish has already been attested for different kinds of phenomena, such as accusative clitic doubling. |
