Dos tipos de construcción admirativa: Aproximación a las formas de codificar la sorpresa desde la perspectiva de la gramaticalización

La admiratividad ha sido definida como la categoria semantica correspondiente a la sorpresa que provoca en el hablante la informacion que transmite cierta proposicion (DeLancey 1997, 2001). En otro trabajo (Soto y Hasler 2013), la admiratividad se ha caracterizado como una categoria subjetiva compuesta por dos eventualidades: la eventualidad relatada y la sorpresa que esta provoca. En el presente trabajo, proponemos que hay dos formas generales de codificar la admiratividad: el modo Ser, que expresa lexicamente la adquisicion sorpresiva de cierta informacion, empleando un verbo de cognicion o percepcion, y el modo Er, que expresa lexicamente la eventualidad relatada y marca gramaticalmente la sorpresa que esta genera en el hablante. Solo en el segundo caso hay una categoria gramatical de admirativo.

The mapudungun -fu morpheme: the grammatical coding of anti-perfect

The perfect aspect is a retrospective aspect that encodes the current relevance of a previous event. In this work, we propose a semantic and grammatical category labeled as antiperfect that, in contrast to the perfect aspect, encodes the non-validity of a previous eventuality in speech time. Given that, as the perfect aspect, the antiperfect is subject to the current relevance of a previous situation, we propose that this is a second type of retrospective aspect. After reviewing the descriptions of perfect by Comrie (1976), Dik (1997) and Nishiyama & Koenig (2010), and the description of discontinuous past by Plungian & van der Auwera (2006), we analyze how the antiperfect is grammatically encoded in Mapudungun by means of the morpheme –fu. We focus the analysis of this category on its semantic-pragmatic description, its relation to aktionsart, and the role of context in its interpretation.The perfect aspect is a retrospective aspect that encodes the current relevance of a previous event.
