El orden de constituyentes en el romance temprano. Las “Glosas Emilianenses”

Abstract

Mercedes SUÁREZ FERNÁNDEZ: The Order of Constituents in Early Romance. Las Glosas Emilianenses. For the period that dates from Vulgar and Late Latin and ends in Early Romance, some of the authors that deal with the period of Early Romance have directed their attention to the study of the order of constituents. They have proposed a VSO order that has been supported in certain indications found in the text Las Glosas Emilianenses. Here, we mean to demonstrate, on the one hand, that the documental testimony of the Latin-Romance evolution, as well as the documents from Early Romance do not sustain a VSO order, but a SVO one, and on the other hand, that the indications of the Glosas are susceptible to interpretations in which certain constituent order markers are not taken into consideration, even though other types of grammatical aspects are.
