“…In English, this semantic-morphology mapping is not as straightforward, as the same morphological form (i.e. -ed) can be used in both perfective and imperfective contexts as the examples above show (Arche, 2014a(Arche, , 2014b. It is important to note that 1.…”

A leading hypothesis in the study of the L2 acquisition of aspect-related verbal morphemes is the Lexical Aspect Hypothesis (LAH) (Andersen, 1989, 1991; Andersen & Shirai, 1994) which claims that learners’ use of these forms is determined by the lexical properties of events. Reviews of major studies reveal that data from one single task, usually an open-ended oral task, have often been used to support this hypothesis. I discuss copious evidence from the acquisition of Spanish to argue that when studies use a ‘mixed methods’ approach (e.g. combining oral production and experimentally elicited data) they are able to test existing hypotheses such as the LAH more reliably and can offer more valuable insights. Existing evidence from the SPLLOC project (Domínguez, Tracy-Ventura, Arche, Mitchell, & Myles, 2013; Mitchell, Domínguez, Arche, Myles, & Marsden, 2008) is used as supporting evidence for this approach and to raise questions about the appropriateness of some research methods widely used in our field.

“…Pel que fa a l'estudi lingüístic, el que és interessant és que, a diferència d'altres categories funcionals, el temps i l'aspecte (gramaticals) són categories universals; totes les llengües tenen mecanismes per expressar aquestes nocions (Dahl, 2005;Binnick, 2012;Arche, 2014;Wiltschko, 2014). Ara bé, com ja assenyalava Comrie (1976), hi ha una gran variació pel que fa a les estratègies lingüístiques per gramaticalitzar el temps i l'aspecte.…”

En aquest article analitzem l'aproximació a les categories de temps i d'aspecte als llibres de text de Llengua catalana i literatura per a l'educació secundària obligatòria. Concretament, revisem com se'n plantegen la definició, la seqüenciació i l'enfocament de l'ensenyament-aprenentatge. Així mateix, la revisió d'aquests aspectes s'acompanya d'una sèrie d'observacions crítiques i propostes de millora que permeten tractar el temps i l'aspecte com a categories funcionals universals, a través de la reflexió significativa sobre el significat d'aquests termes i l'ús de les diferents formes del paradigma verbal des de l'òptica del discurs.

“…On the relation between grammatical aspect and quantification, see for instance Krifka (1989), Tenny (1987), Parsons (1990) and Arche (2014): the general observation is that grammatical aspect involves quantifying over distinct subphases of the eventuality time, in a way parallel to how number and other types of quantification act over the description of the NP. Wiltschko (2014) generalises the NumP to a position responsible for the phi features of the noun (number, gender, person), and also argues for a parallelism between grammatical aspect and the phi feature head within the nominal domain.…”

This article provides an overview about the main facts and analytical options in the domain of determiners and quantifiers in Spanish. It covers the main classification of determiners and their basic syntactic and semantic properties (§1), the differences in behaviour between quantifiers and determiners in the strict sense (§2), the notion of definiteness and the contrasts in the use of the definite and indefinite articles (§3), the notion of specificity (§4) and the main types of quantifiers and how they can be identified (§5). In terms of analytical problems, it discusses whether determiners should be considered heads or not (§6), the areas within the determiner and quantifier domain (§7), the nature of the indefinite article as an element that shares properties with existential quantifiers (§8), the problems posed by proper names (§9) and the possible existence of phonologically null determiners in Spanish (§10). Conclusions are presented in §11.
