The contribution of aspectual auxiliary verbs to the factual value of verb periphrases in Spanish: An empirical study

This paper presents the results of a corpus-based study on the contribution of Spanish aspectual auxiliary verbs to the factual interpretation of the predicates they modify and with which they constitute the verb complex (a verb periphrasis, VP). The study was carried out as part of a project that,...
