Affectedness and Differential Object Marking in Spanish
In this study we investigate the impact of affectedness on the diachronic development of Differential Object Marking (DOM) in Spanish. DOM in Spanish synchronically depends on (i) the referential features of the direct object, such as animacy and referentiality, and (ii) the semantics of the verb. Several studies have also shown that the diachronic development of DOM proceeds along the Animacy ...

متن کاملSelectivity in L1 Attrition: Differential Object Marking in Spanish Near-Native Speakers of English.

A corpus ...
