| Sumario: | This proposal examines the relationship of agreement –or lack thereof– in number between the lexical plural indirect object and its dative pronoun, in two distinct Spanish-speaking communities: a) writings by university students from the Faculty of Humanities, at the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste (UNNE); b) samples from the written media in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA). The objectives are twofold: a) to describe and explain the behaviour of Spanish dative clitics with a plural referent in various contexts within both sample sets; b) to compare the results from both groups, providing evidence of the prevalence of agreement between the clitic les and its plural lexical referent, influenced by the nature of the verbal predicate governing both units. Through theoretical and methodological contributions, the description of these forms is based on the real contexts in which they emerge. This analysis adopts a mixed perspective that incorporates both quantitative and qualitative approaches. |
