/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p> Among the most prolifically
treated topics in grammaticalization approaches to semantic change is
the development of periphrastic past constructions, particularly the
'have'-perfects in Romance and other Indo-European languages. This
issue is an intriguing one for language researchers since it offers
the opportunity to observe language change both as an incipient
process that involves the transition of some lexical element into a
more 'grammatical' role as well as a process of semantic
generalization without the necessity of overt structural
reorganization. This book explores the development of the periphrastic
past (or pretérito perfecto compuesto) in Spanish, with special
attention to its cross-dialectal distribution vis-à-vis the simple
perfective past (or pretérito), and assumes a multi-disciplinary
perspective, drawing on insights from semantic and pragmatic as well
as sociolinguistic approaches to language change. The resulting
proposals, developed on the basis of spoken language data from
cross-dialectal samples of Spanish, address the nature of language
change and the variable forces that shape it.</p><br
