Resumo: | In this squib we identify a group of bare singular count nominals in Rioplatense Spanish that can occupy any syntactic position. Even though it is considered to be a lexically restricted phenomenon, we argue for their productivity and systematic behavior. Considering that Spanish has rich determiner system, we depart from a semantic perspective to explain why these bare nouns appear in argument positions. To this end, we present some tests that aim to show their singular individual definite reading. In particular, our proposal assimilates them into the class of proper names, in that they are DPs which establish a biunivocal relation with their referent. However, they differ from canonical proper names, given that they are originally common nouns and on top of their literal meaning, they also add some semantic enrichment. That is to say, they are interpreted as a location that belongs (in broad terms) to the speaker, who performs a stereotypical task in there. This data suggests that the paradigm of Spanish bare singulars is broader than what the literature has so far attested. |

Si bien se trata de un fenómeno restringido léxicamente, sostenemos que estos escuetos presentan un comportamiento productivo y sistemático. Considerando que el español dispone de un paradigma rico de determinantes, aquí nos proponemos explicar, desde una perspectiva semántica, por qué estos escuetos pueden ocupar posiciones argumentales. Con tal fin, presentamos una serie de diagnósticos que ponen en evidencia su lectura definida singular individual. En particular, nuestra propuesta los integra a la clase de nombres propios, en cuanto establecen una relación biunívoca con su referente y conforman, por tanto, un sintagma determinante. Sin embargo, a diferencia de los nombres propios canónicos, estos escuetos son originalmente nombres comunes y se caracterizan por que, además de su significado literal, añaden un significado enriquecido. A saber, se interpretan como una locación que posee (en sentido amplio) el hablante, quien desempeña allí alguna tarea convencional. Los datos aquí presentados sugieren que el paradigma de nombres escuetos en español es más amplio que el relevado hasta ahora en la literatura.Caderno de Squibs: Temas em estudos formais da linguagem2020-12-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/cs/article/view/31528Caderno de Squibs: Temas em estudos formais da linguagem; v. 6 n. 1 (2020): Caderno de Squibs: Temas em estudos formais da linguagem; 42-502447-1372reponame:Caderno de Squibsinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/cs/article/view/31528/28269Copyright (c) 2020 Caderno de Squibs: Temas em estudos formais da linguagemhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOggiani, Carolina2020-12-15T00:21:31Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/31528Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/csPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/cs/oaimarcuslunguinho@gmail.com||marcuslunguinho@gmail.com|| gramaticagerativaunb@gmail.com2447-13722447-1372opendoar:2020-12-15T00:21:31Caderno de Squibs - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false |
