“…Studies carried out have certified that labilisation is often produced with the conversion of a transitive verb into an intransitive too. The better examples can be found in English (Visser , McMillion ) or even in Latin (Gianollo ). However, the Spanish lexemes affected by this process are intransitive verbs that have been converted into transitive.…”

“…I have already referred to the fact that lability in western Peninsular Spanish is P‐alignment type. Although the P‐alignment strategy has been related to ergative languages and many studies have been carried out on case valency changes from the evolution of Latin to Romance and even from Old French to Modern French (Heidinger , Gianollo ), in most of these cases it is the transitive verb that can be used intransitively. The phenomenon dealt with throughout this paper extends the intransitive valency to transitive.…”

Lability in Western Peninsular Spanish

The western variety of Peninsular Spanish possesses a type of causative construction in which an intransitive lexeme is used transitively. This phenomenon, called lability, is attested in three specific verbs: caer (‘to fall’), quedar (‘to stay’) and entrar (‘to enter’). As a consequence, they can induce a direct object at the expense of the standard forms tirar (‘to throw’), dejar (‘to leave’) and meter (‘to put in’). Lability has not been studied in depth for Spanish and, with this paper, I attempt to pinpoint its current extension as well as the possible semantic factors that prompt the transitivisation of these verbs.

“…Gianollo 2014). En el caso del griego clásico, parece ser que la alternancia lábil fue desarrollándose a partir del uso causativo ocasional de verbos que eran originalmente inacusativos no alternantes (7-8), y finalmente llegó a reemplazar a la alternancia anticausativa como mecanismo regular (cf.…”

The theories about the conceptualization of change of state events (cf. Haspelmath 1993) have had an enormous influence on the studies about the causative-unaccusative alternation since Levin & Rappaport Hovav's work (1995), both with regard to the morphological marking problem and the problem of which verbs may undergo the alternation. This paper reflects on their theoretical usefulness and defends the need of refining them by applying the Form-Frequency Correspondence Principle (Haspelmath et al. 2014;Heidinger 2015), which avoids circular statements. Our case in point are the few verbs undergoing the labile alternation in Spanish, whose resistance against the expansion of se as a regular marker is an idiosyncratic matter determined by the interaction of both cognitive factors, ResumenLas teorías sobre la conceptualización de los eventos de cambio de estado (cf. Haspelmath 1993) han tenido una enorme presencia en los estudios sobre la alternancia causativo-inacusativa a partir del trabajo de Levin y Rappaport Hovav (1995), tanto en relación con el problema de la marcación de la alternancia como con el problema de qué verbos participan de ella. Este artículo reflexiona sobre su utilidad teórica y defiende la necesidad de redefinirlas mediante la aplicación del Principio de la Correspondencia FormaFrecuencia (Haspelmath et al. 2014;Heidinger 2015), gracias al cual se evitan planteamientos circulares. Nuestro objeto de estudio serán los escasos verbos que participan de la alternancia lábil en español, cuya resistencia a la expansión de se como marca regular de la alternancia es una cuestión idiosincrásica que obedece a la interacción de ResumenEl trabajo analiza la potencialidad del territorio para la implantación de parques eólicos en la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía. Para ello se construye un modelo locacional utilizando las capacidades analíticas de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) y las Técnicas de Evaluación Multicriterio (EMC). En este modelo se señalarán las zonas con mayor potencialidad para la implantación eólica, así como aquéllas en las que ésta resulta desaconsejable o incluso incompatible con otras actividades y usos del territorio. Los resultados ponen en evidencia la existencia de diversas limitaciones en Andalucía para el desarrollo de la energía eólica, pero, además y sobre todo, pueden ofrecer un instrumento de gran utilidad para un impulso ordenado del sector eólico en la región.Palabras clave: Energía eólica; Territorio; Técnicas de Evaluación Multicriterio; Sistemas de Información Geográfica; Andalucía. AbstractThis paper analyzes the potential of the land to set up wind farms in Andalusia (Southern Spain). A locational model using the analytical capabilities of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-criteria Evaluation Techniques (EMC) has been built. This will be able to point out the areas with the greatest potential for wind power, as well as those in which it is inadvisable or even incompatible with other activities and land use.

“…At times the Reflexive alternates with the -r form in the same text, as in (24c)-(24d), from the 6th century AD (Pirson 1906;Feltenius 1977: 20). (24) The use of the -r form in anticausative function in Late Latin, illustrated in (24d) (from a 6th century text), however, might also reflect so-called Deponentization (Flobert 1975;Gianollo 2014), the widespread use of the passive morphology in active function with all verbs (Cennamo 1998(Cennamo , 2009, and further references therein), both in the tenses of the infectum (25a)-(25b) and of the perfectum, instantiated by a form of esse 'be' together with a past participle (25c). This appears to be a part of the reorganization of voice distinctions and the consequent functional opacity of the voice morphology conveying them (Cennamo 1998(Cennamo , 2005(Cennamo , 2006Herman 2002).…”

Abstract:The diachrony of valency patterns is generally an understudied phenomenon. The present article investigates anticausativization from a diachronic perspective, highlighting the parameters determining the morphosyntactic encoding of this type of intransitivization in two early Western Indo-European languages, Latin and Old NorseIcelandic. It is shown that the structural and lexical aspects of a verb meaning and their interplay with the inherent and relational characteristics of verbal arguments affect the synchronic distribution and the diachronic development of the anticausativation strategies in the languages investigated. These features interact, in the course of time, with changes in the encoding of voice and grammatical relations, such as the demise of the synthetic mediopassive and the recasting of the case system.
