La conceptualización de los eventos de cambio de estado y la alternancia lábil en español
The theories about the conceptualization of change of state events (cf. Haspelmath 1993) have had an enormous influence on the studies about the causative-unaccusative alternation since Levin & Rappaport Hovav’s work (1995), both with regard to the morphological marking problem and the problem o...

| Summary: | The theories about the conceptualization of change of state events (cf. Haspelmath 1993) have had an enormous influence on the studies about the causative-unaccusative alternation since Levin & Rappaport Hovav’s work (1995), both with regard to the morphological marking problem and the problem of which verbs may undergo the alternation. This paper reflects on their theoretical usefulness and defends the need of refining them by applying the Form-Frequency Correspondence Principle (Haspelmath et al. 2014; Heidinger 2015), which avoids circular statements. Our case in point are the few verbs undergoing the labile alternation in Spanish, whose resistance against the expansion of se as a regular marker is an idiosyncratic matter determined by the interaction of both cognitive factors,such as the conceptualization of events, and grammatical factors, such as aspect and scale structure. |
