Las cláusulas finales en el “Poema de Fernán González”

Abstract

María KÍTOVA-VASÍLEVA: Final Clauses in the Poema de Fernán González. This article analyzes “integrated” clauses of purpose expressing finality in the Poema de Fernán González. This analysis allows us to conclude that (1) in the final structures using an infinitive both transitive and intransitive (copulative or pronominal) verbs are used as regents; (2) the regents semantics is decisively important for the construction of final clauses; (3) we find an interesting use of clauses using final infinitives even in those cases when the “agents” do not coincide; (4) we find clauses using an infinitive in which the coreferentiality of agents appears 92.8 % of the time, while those using a verb in the subjunctive make up only 6.3 %; (5) when the regents in the clauses using infinitives express movement, we find constructions in which the regent is still united in an immediate way to the verb that takes the dative, and when a nexus is used we can detect the parallel use of the prepositions a, por, pora and por a, among which the preferred use of a stands out; and finally, (7) the punctuation that the critical editors have included in their editions in order to delimitate the verses and their hemistiches, in many instances only obscures the meaning, makes reading difficult, and does not allow certain enun-ciations to be interpreted correctly.
