Sobre el concepte de derivació fonològica: alguns fenòmens vocàlics en basc i en català
1995
In the standard generative model, phonological rules are strictly ordered, potentially giving rise to complicated derivations with a large number of intermediate representations. In such a model, the order in which the rules apply is as important as the correct formulation of the rules. There are obvious conceptual problems with this theoretical framework, and in recent years several proposals which do away with rule ordering have been put forward. In this paper, we examine a number of vocalic alternations in Basque and Valencian (Southern Catalan), which in a standard generative analysis require a complex rule ordering. Adapting Lakoff' s model we show that, in every case, we can have a si…
La variació sintàctica: uniformitat en la diversitat
2021
The study of the syntactic variation of the dialects of a language is a good instrument to understand the general properties of language and the syntactic principles that govern the limits of variation in sentence structure. This paper deals with two topics of Catalan sintax, which are given different solutions by the speakers depending on the dialects. One of them is at the interface between syntax and morphology; the other, at the interface between syntax and semantics. The both are related to agreement: morphological features agreement and lexical features agreement. Specifically, we will analise number agreement in deontic sentences with the verb caldre from dialects where this verb is …
D'un complex d'inferioritat proverbial
1995
This is is a paper about the history of Catalan proverbs borrowed by Spanish tradition and lost in modern Catalan. The authors give the real origin of such proverbs and stress the sociolinguistic relevance of this «oblivion», as a kind of inferiority complex, to the present-day consciousness of the Catalan speech community.
Els parlars de transició entre el català occidental i l'oriental
1999
Traditionally, the Catalan language has been divided into two great dialectal area: West and East. It was Milà i Fontanals who first established in 1861 such classification of Catalan dialects, based on the criterion of unstressed vowels: the Western dialects keep a, e and o in unstressed syllables, whereas Eastern dialects have evolved into the neutral vowel. Once these criteria have been applied, it has been found that the isoglosses built on the three phonetic phenomena described above are not superimposed, and therefore do not coincide. As the differences in isoglosses increase if we consider the criteria proposed by Veny in «Els parlars catalans», we may infer that the transition from …
Valors adverbials associats a la conjunció «que»: un estudi històric
2005
In this article we will discuss the causal and final adverbial values connected to the conjunction «que» in Catalan and in other Romanic languages. In the first part, we analyse the evolution of the complex conjunctions system in Classical Latin and the posterior oral usages which originated the preliterary Romanic languages. In the second, we study the causal and final subordinate propositions introduced by the nexus «que». As we will try to show, in Medieval Time the nexus que, as it happens today, was used to introduce both argumentative adjuncts, integrated in the predicate, and propositional adjuncts, more external and with a discursive function. Since the 13th century, the progressive…

Traduccions i usos sintàctics de l'expressió de l'abstracció
2007
En aquesta recerca, el model de llengua de les traduccions esdevé un element cabdal a l'hora d' explicitar les variables que conjuminen precisament aquestes normes traductores. Un dels components de la norma literaria en traducció es fa palmari amb l'analisi de les qüestions més controvertides al si de la gramatica, en la mesura que aquestes poden condicionar l’elecció estilística del traductor. Seguint aquests criteris, hem de convenir que l’expressió de l’abstracció, i, la seua relació amb l'anomenat «article neutre», ha estat una d’aquestes qüestions controvertides en la sintaxi catalana. Així doncs, analitza aquelles estructures que des d'un punt de vista interpretatiu correspondrien al…
Anàlisi contrastiva dels marcadors de reformulació i exemplificació
2001
The aim of this paper is to present a contrastive analysis of reformulation and exemplification markers in Catalan and Spanish, on the one hand, and in English, on the other. The study is based on a corpus of expository prose (mainly academic writing). The analysis shows coincidences regarding the sources of the connectives, but also differences relating to the variety of forms and the preference of fixed or variable connectives. The differences identified in the grammar of Catalan and Spanish vs. that of English will be associated with two distinct styles for building expository texts.
La implantació de la normativa dels relatius: els resultats en dos exercicis gramaticals
2014
En aquest article es presenten els resultats obtinguts a partir de dos exercicis enfocats a avaluar la implantació de la normativa dels relatius en discursos planificats. L’article analitza els resultats parcials d’una recerca que s’emmarca en l’ús que fa dels relatius la mostra estudiada (26 individus catalanoparlants de 1r curs de Traducció i Interpretació) i la percepció que se’n té. Els resultats han permès extreure les conclusions següents: (a) la implantació de la normativa pel que fa als relatius utilitzats és «alta» (de les 520 respostes analitzades, el 86,9 % són normatives oficials); (b) en el 50 % dels ítems, la implantació de la normativa ha resultat «molt alta», i (c) destaca l…
La projecció sintaxi-fonologia en els clítics del català i de l'espanyol
1995
This article covers Spanish and Catalan clitic pronouns according to the fundamental theoretical principles of Distributed Morphology. The author postulates that the syntax-phonology mapping of clitics consists of two submappings, the first from syntax to morphology and the second from morphology to phonology. In this second mapping, the clitics may suffer the effect of various morphological rules, specifically, the structural operations of Impoverishment, Adjunction, Fusion and Fission. The author proves that the complex and quirky behaviour of clitics and clitic clusters in Spanish and Barceloní can be easily explained by taking into account that these four operations act on the clitics'…
