DOS RECURSOS ANTROPOCÉNTRICOS EN ESPAÑOL: DATIVO Y VOZ MEDIA
Journal Title: Itinerarios. Revista de estudios lingüísticos, literarios, históricos y antropológicos - Year 2016, Vol 23, Issue
Abstract
Th e study of “datives” in Spanish has confl ated two kinds of unstressed pronouns belonging to diff erent paradigms: personal pronouns (me, te, le) and refl exive pronouns (me, te, se) have been studied as if they were a single class. Both series, however, have diff erent roots and different grammatical uses in Latin. Refl exive pronouns were used in Latin to express the meanings of the old Indo-European middle voice, which were initially expressed synthetically through the -r forms of the verb (amor, amatur). Dative personal or demonstrative pronouns, on the other hand, were used to provide a “self-aff ection meaning” upon one of the participants in the verbal process. Communicative import has been diff erent in each case, and the resources used to belong to different paradigms, as their possible co-presence in the same texts shows. Th e convergence of personal datives and the refl exive paradigm, both in their meaning (selfaffection) and in their category (unstressed pronouns) made Spanish grammarians describe both as a single “dative” paradigm, even though refl exive pronouns did not always come from the dative and actually its present clitic form comes from the accusative. The object of this paper is to show the diff erences between both paradigms and, at the same time, defend the relevance of middle voice in present Spanish.
