Abstract:

This book provides a new approach to the study of clitic doubling in Spanish,
based on spontaneous data considered within their broad discourse context, and
focusing on the cognitive and pragmatic factors that underpin the use of these
constructions. 

Considering examples from Argentine, Mexican and Spanish regional variants of
the language, the study embraces the graduality and heterogeneity that emerge
from the data, and distinguishes different subtypes of “doubling” depending on
the pragmatic constraints that govern their use, as well as the
morphophonological and morphosyntactic characteristics of dative and
accusative clitics in each variant. Each “doubling” subtype, in turn, is shown
to have different degrees of spreading.

The book concludes with an examination of these constructions within the
framework of Role and Reference Grammar. The formalizations proposed account
for the complex interplay of syntax, semantics and pragmatics evidenced by
clitic doubling in a way that, at the same time, is consistent with the
diversity uncovered by the analysis of the natural data.
