Dear LINGUIST List members,
In order to undertake a contrastive analysis of "hay" and "there"
sentences in Spanish and English, I would be grateful if you could send
me references containing functional and formal analyses of
presentational "hay" constructions in Spanish ("Hay tres estudiantes
esperando por el profesor en el pasillo"). I am interested in issues such
as: the syntactic structure of the construction, its informative
organisation (in terms of old vs given information), processing
(distribution of constituents along the sentence), etc.
So far I have focused on:
Suñer, Margarita (1982) "Syntax and Semantics of Spanish
Presentational Sentence Types". Washington, DC: Georgetown
University.
I am not aware of more recent stuff.
Thanks in advance,
Javier Perez-Guerra
