/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p> This book presents an analysis of
Spanish prepositional clauses (< P + CP >) - complement and adverbial
clauses. The goal is to examine the syntax and evolution of those
clauses and their components in Spanish, contrasting them with other
European languages.<br /><br />Prepositional argument and adjunct
clauses are grammatical in present-day Spanish. However, Medieval
Spanish only attests the latter; the former were not frequent until
the 16th/17th centuries. Both types are examined in their syntactic
evolution and properties, including clausal nominality, argumenthood,
nature of prepositions, and optionality.<br /><br />Latin and
Portuguese, French, and Italian - both in their present-day and past
forms - are studied and compared to Spanish. Likewise, several
Germanic languages are surveyed. These languages show variable
grammatical degrees of < P + CP >. The comparison reveals aspects
which challenge the commonly accepted conclusions about the clausal
patterns of each language.<br /><br />This study offers a novel
approach to the analysis of Spanish prepositional clauses by looking
at its properties and formation not only from within but also in
contrast with other languages. It argues for cross-linguistically
valid categories and explanations in order to comprehend the
properties of human language.</p><br /><b>Temática:</b> Lingüística
