Abstract:
Abstract. In this paper the formal semantics of Spanish directive verbs, especially permissive deontic verbs, is studied. A dynamic perspective is adopted in which the meaning of an expression is not its truth conditions but its discourse update potential. The paper focuses on the following aspects of directive permission verbs: the analysis of their basic meaning in contrast with other modals; aspectual and temporal restrictions on the complements of permission verbs; restrictions on the subject of permission verbs; combinations of modals; and conjunction and disjunction of permission stateme

Abstract:
This paper addresses the question of how English and Spanish encode the modal meanings of possibility and necessity. English modals and Spanish modal periphrases emerge as ‘cross-linguistic equivalents’ in this area. Data from two monolingual ‘comparable’ corpora — the Bank of English and CREA — reveal (i) differences in grammatical conceptualization in the English and the Spanish traditions and (ii) the relative inadequacy of classifications of modality for a translation-oriented contrast in this area. An English-Spanish contrastive map of the semantics (and expressive means) of modality will

Abstract:
Abstract. Spanish prometer 'promise', permitir 'permit' and obligar 'oblige' are considered modal verbs. In their dcontic senses they behave syntactically as control verbs. This property is maintained in non-deontic permitir and obligar, but not in non-deontic/?ro/ne/cT, which shows some features of a raising verb. Non-deonticpermitir and obligar are causatives of alethic modalities (lx makes it possible/necessary for y to F(y,...y)t while non-deontic^romerer is epistemic ('it is highly likely that I'(x,...)*). Non-deontic senses of the three verbs have in common the non-intentionality of the

Abstract:
Abstract The Spanish verb phrase can take on many forms, depending on the temporal, aspectual and modal interpretation that a speaker wants to convey. At least half a dozen constructions work together to build or analyze even the simplest verb form such as hablo ‘I speak’. This paper documents how the complete Spanish verb conjugation system can be operationalized in a computational construction grammar formalism, namely Fluid Construction Grammar. Moreover, it shows how starting from a seed grammar that handles regular morphology and grammar one can create a productive grammar that captures s

Abstract:
In this paper it is argued that Langacker’s definition of grounding predications is problematic for languages other than English. The idea that in English tense and modal auxiliaries are mutually exclusive grounding elements leads Langacker (1990, 2003) to consider both deontic and epistemic modal auxiliaries as grounding predications, whereas he excludes German modals from being so on the basis of their tense inflection. In this paper I contend that, unlike the deontic modal verbs, and despite their tense marking, Spanish epistemic modals deber ‘must’, poder ‘may’ and tener que ‘have to’ are

Kokkuvõte. Artiklis uuritakse episteemilist modaalsust hispaania ja eesti keele võimalikkusmodaalverbide semantikas. Võrdlus lähtub hispaania keele modaalverbist poder, vaadeldes selle episteemilise kasutuse tõlkevasteid ilukirjandusteostes. Analüüsi aluseks on episteemilise modaalsuse tähendusala täpsem määratlemine. Prototüüpset kõnelejakeskset (subjektiivset) võimalikkushinnangut eristatakse objektiivsest situatsioonilisest võimalikkusest, mis on episteemilise/mitte-episteemilise modaalsuse piiripealne vaheaste.

Abstract:
Spanish and other Romance languages inherited from Latin the seeds of a new construction that is common to the syntax of some verbs belonging to the field of emotions, feelings, pain or modality. The semantic values of this construction are strange to prototypical transitivity and are coupled with a marked argument structure, compared with the more common transitive sentence. In the early centuries of the history of Spanish only a few verbs were integrated in the new scheme, which could receive an experience, modal or quantitative meaning, depending on an analogical association with certain fr

Abstract:
The present article shows that the most frequent way of translating Should have + Past participle in Spanish is the word-by-word translation Debería haber. This preference is not coherent with the language use of natives at three levels: (i) the marginal role of modal verbs to express the speaker’s subjectivity in Spanish; (ii) the preferred use of modal verbs in the past participle position (e.g., No hubiese debido tener libros); and (iii) the predominant use of the pluperfect subjunctive as a prompting tense for counterfactual readings.

This article uses computer learner corpora to compare the variety and frequency of some modal expressions in the writing of university-level EFL students and native speakers. Even though the prime focal point of the investigation is Brazilian EFL writers, the author recurrently relies on comparisons with Spanish and Czech EFL writers in an effort to determine whether certain characteristics of Brazilian EFL writing are likely to stem from mother tongue interference, or are, by and large, shared by EFL writers of different language settings.

This study focuses on the notions of deontic and dynamic modality in Spanish and how they are expressed through the modal verbs deber ‘must’ and tener que ‘have to’. The analysis is based on a corpus of political debates from the European Parliament, conducted 2010‒2011 by Spanish MEPs. In total, 578 occurrences of deber and 334 occurrences of tener que have been studied in detail, in order to understand their semantic and pragmatic behavior. Out of the 912 cases, 860 were classified as deontic necessity and 52 as dynamic necessity. When separating the deontic readings from the dynamic ones, t

Abstract:
In this chapter, the authors adopt a corpus methodology to examine how business tourism promotional guides are written in their original language. Two examples (one in English and one in Spanish) are carefully examined according to a classification of verbal and non-verbal elements. First, the authors explain in the introduction the methodology of the study. They then continue with the analysis and description of the comparable corpus. Two promotional guides (one in English and one in Spanish) were selected for this purpose. For each of them, non-verbal elements are analyzed (fonts, text arrangement, symbols, images, colors) as well as verbal elements (voice, mode, types of sentences, verb tenses, adjectives, adverbs, personal pronouns, possessive determiners, and modal verbs).

Abstract:
This work further investigates the use of a complementizer-like particle que in Spanish with a reportative meaning. The reportative QUE in Mexican Spanish shows an unparalleled behavior as an evidential: it is the only Spanish variety—considering Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula—in which que may appear preceding nonclausal constituents DP, NP, and PP. It will be further shown here that this unexpected property must obey two prosodic restrictions: a pause and a certain intonational pattern are mandatory when the nonclausal constituent is postverbal. Even though the reportative QUE may acquire modal overtones (of doubt or [ad]mirativity), it is not inherently modal, unlike the adverbial dizque and the Mexican innovation según que, which are inherently modal. It is proposed here that the Mexican reportative QUE is the natural extension of the complementizer que of verba dicendi; it is also contended that QUE becomes a grammaticalized reportative evidential.
