Algunas notas sobre correferencia parcial

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to study a phenomenon that has not been a central issue of the Spanish grammar: the partial correference between a pronoun and a nominal phrase or another pronoun. We are going to prove that under certain circumstances that we present in detail this becomes possible in Spanish, in opposition to what was previously assumed. We will propose that the possibility of having partial correference depends mainly on the syntactic nature of the pronoun and not on the principles of Binding. A comparison of Spanish with Basque, German and French will prove the validity of our hypothesis.
