Ebook: Der Verbalanschluss im Spanischen: Kognitiv-syntaktische Analyse nominaler und satzwertiger Akkusativobjekte

In Spanish, when nominal and clausal accusative objects follow verbs, there are always two possible realizations: with or without a differential object marking (DOM) – finite or infinite. The study describes in detail the semantics of these structures and explains the formal opposition based on the principle of complexity iconization. Corpus and experimental data support the theoretical approach.
