2017 A note on the syntax of possession in Paraguayan Guaraní Boundaries, Phases and Interfaces: Case studies in honor of Violeta Demonte, Fernández-Soriano, Olga, Elena Castroviejo Miró and Isabel Pérez-Jiménez (eds.), pp. 85–104 | Chapter
This article shows that the pronominal system of Paraguayan Guaraní provides evidence that 3p (null) possessor pronouns behave differently from 1p and 2p (overt) possessor pronouns and argues that this difference can be captured by a conjunction of hypotheses, namely, that the 3p possessor pronoun… read more
2014 Chapter 9. On the grammaticalization of the Assertion Structure: A view from Spanish Left Sentence Peripheries in Spanish: Diachronic, Variationist and Comparative Perspectives, Dufter, Andreas and Álvaro S. Octavio de Toledo y Huerta (eds.), pp. 253–282 | Chapter
This paper argues that the standard and colloquial variety of Spanish pseudo-clefts provide support for the bi-clausal analysis of such constructions (Ross 1972, Schlenker 1998, 2003, den Dikken et al. 2000), and this transparently encodes the Assertion Structure of the sentence: the pre-copular… read more
2013 An L2 study on the production of stress patterns in English compounds Generative Linguistics and Acquisition: Studies in honor of Nina M. Hyams, Becker, Misha, John Grinstead and Jason Rothman (eds.), pp. 185–204 | Article
This paper compares the production of stress patterns in various types of compounds by English natives and by L1 Spanish/L2 English speakers. English natives (ENs) systematically produced idiomatic compounds with fore-stress (Strong-Weak) patterns, and so did the second language learners (L2ers)… read more

Two facts about Standard Spanish… read more

This paper reports the results of a bidirectional study on the L2 acquisition of English and Spanish periphrastic causatives by adult learners. It is argued that different L1 grammatical properties are transferred at different levels of L2 proficiency. At earlier stages, L2 learners focus on L1… read more

2004 Some Elements for an Empirical Approach to the Study of Meaning Lexique, Syntaxe et Lexique-Grammaire / Syntax, Lexis & Lexicon-Grammar: Papers in honour of Maurice Gross, Leclère, Christian, Éric Laporte, Mireille Piot and Max Silberztein (eds.), pp. 613–627 | Article
This article argues that meaning must be analyzed in terms of a notion of description. That notion is taken to apply quite generally beyond the language faculty to other cognitive and perceptual modalities. Descriptions are gathered into families, each family having the structure of a semilattice.… read more
