“…CD is based on topic-shift construction (Givón 1976), a structure with a dislocated theme that is anaphorically resumed by a pronoun. CD is the result of the syntactic reanalysis of the dislocation to the right, as well as the extension of the preposition a of the indirect object to the direct object in the case of the direct object CD (Gabriel and Rinke 2010;David 2014). 2 Although the indirect and direct objects are most commonly doubled with a, prepositional marking is not a necessary condition for CD in the different varieties of Spanish or in other Romance languages (Sitaridou 2017, pp.…”

Clitic doubling (CD) is the co-appearance in the same sentence of the clitic and a correlative syntagma in the canonical position of the object. Apart from obligatory contexts, CD of the indirect object (IO) is found with variable frequency in Romance languages and even in different varieties of the same language, most likely because it is a phenomenon of internal/external language interface. The objective of this work is to determine the frequency of CD in non-obligatory contexts of recipient and location IO in peninsular Spanish, and to analyse its features according to the referential hierarchy used for the diachronic evolution of the phenomenon. For this purpose, we extracted data from two open access corpora of interviews (COREC and PRESEEA) from different regions that are (or are not) areas of historical contact with other languages. The results show a significant extension of doubling in contexts where this is optional and the neutralisation of features that previously predicted CD of IOs. Nevertheless, there are geographical differences in peninsular Spanish in terms of frequency, definiteness, specificity, the influence of the cliticization of the direct object, and the accessibility of the IO referents in the minds of the speakers.

“…Por otro lado, se ha defendido un origen distinto para la duplicación en función de la animación del referente. De acuerdo con ello, con referente inanimado, el origen sería el reanálisis sintáctico de la dislocación a la derecha; y con animado, sobre todo, humano, la difusión del DOM (David 2014).…”

“…A sister study (David 2014) focuses on the cross-linguistic comparison of the composite dom+cd construction in two of the languages that possess it, Romanian and Spanish. That comparative study illustrates that Romanian developed a pragmatic clause-level construction while Spanish did not, retaining instead the dom-only version.…”

Clitic doubling and differential object marking

This work follows the progression of a grammatical construction that unifies the Romanian accusative preposition pe with a coreferential pronominal clitic, together forming the cd-pe construction. On the basis of historical texts, it is argued that these two grammatical phenomena evolved into a clause-level construction with a dedicated semantics and pragmatics in the modern language. A corpus analysis illustrates how cd-pe won out against a competitor pe-only construction that persisted until as recently as the early 20th century, and which is still retained in some dialects and registers. The broader scope is to refocus the discussion of clitic doubling on pragmatic motivators in light of diachronic constructionalization processes, and to reflect on the nature of similar clitic doubling phenomena evident in other Romance languages in terms of the entrenchment of language-specific constructionalization processes.
