- Title
¿Hay la intuición? La historia de la lengua española y el efecto de definitud.
- Authors
PONS RODRÍGUEZ, LOLA
- Abstract
This article examines the historical use of the structures of haber plus article and noun in Spanish. It studies patterns which have already been described, such as endophoric usages, archetypical expressions or quantitative values, along with others which seem to break with the apparent control of the definiteness effect over the Spanish language. Examples from the corpus are used to illustrate how the persistent negation of the acceptability of sentences of the sort hay la intuición in descriptive grammars of the Spanish language is based on Intuitions that are not supported by use. The examples found are classified by value, In search of factors which could explain this apparent exceptional nature. We will attempt to determine whether the definiteness effect linked to haber has acted historically in Spanish as a categorical restriction or whether it should be redefined in order to satisfy the structures examined here, which can apparently be rejected by the introspection of speakers.
