Abstract:
In Preterit Expansion and Perfect Demise in Porteño Spanish and Beyond, Guro
Nore Fløgstad offers an original account of the way in which the Preterit
category has expanded, at the expense of the Perfect, in Porteño Spanish – a
variety spoken in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Through primary sources and a large cross-linguistic sample, Fløgstad
convincingly shows that the expansion of a Preterit is not rare in the
languages of the world. This finding challenges the prevailing view in
historical morphosyntax, and especially in usage-based grammaticalization
theory, namely the alleged preference for analytic over synthetic forms, and
the possibility of prediction based on the source meaning in
grammaticalization.
This book is fully available in Open Access.

as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation,
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department

returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
