El desarollo de las expresiones analiticas en espanol : desde la lengua latina hasta la lengua espanola moderna

Abstract

In our paper we discuss the development of analytical/periphrastic structures in Spanish such as the periphrastic passive voice, the periphrastic comparison of the adjectictive, and the periphrastic future tense. Moreover, we discuss the process of phonetic attrition within the noun paradigm and the development of the SVO word order from the SOV one. We take into consideration a stretch of time that starts in the pre-Proto- Indoeuropean period and ends in the period of Modern Spanish. One of our conclusions is that the development of analytical structures is part of a cyclical process.
