¿Cuán eventivo es este sustantivo? Un análisis de los rasgos lingüísticos que influyen en la interpretación subjetiva de los hablantes
One of the most important semantic features in language processing is that which distinguishes objects from events.

| Sumario: | One of the most important semantic features in language processing is that which distinguishes objects from events. This study starts with a questionnaire in which 62 informants assign a value on a 6-position Likert scale to the eventivity of 84 names in Spanish, in such a way that 1 is completely eventive and 6 is not at all eventive (that is, an object). The aim of this study is to correlate the scores obtained to various characteristics of these nouns. As a result of this research, we have found three types of interesting data: nouns were interpreted as more eventive if they established a direct relationship with a verb in the lexicon. Especially if this relationship was manifest through morphology; Furthermore, there is a correlation between the degree of subjective eventivity and the frequency of appearance of these nouns in certain contexts; finally, names were interpreted less eventual if they were ambiguous than if they were not. All these indications seem to indicate that the semantic intuition of the speakers responds more to the position of the nouns in the lexicon than to a possible semantic decomposition. |
