Anáforas que dejan de serlo: de la interacción del discurso y la morfosintaxis
En la actualidad existe un debate acerca de si el nivel apropiado para estudiar las relaciones referenciales entre expresiones pronominales debería ser la morfosintaxis o un nivel pragmático-discursivo. Este trabajo se plantea esta pregunta mediante el estudio de una serie de casos donde el sentido referencial de un pronombre es alterado discursivamente con independencia de sus rasgos morfosintácticos. Entre las conclusiones destaca que la morfosintaxis es necesaria para explicar la desaparición de interpretaciones discursivas que, de otra manera, deberían ser posibles, pero que, en las estructuras posibles, la interpretación que reciben los pronombres está determinada por factores discursivos.
Palabras clave: expresiones anafóricas; pronombres; clíticos; discurso; cambio de referencia.
Anaphoras that stop being anaphoras: on the interaction between discourse and morphosyntax
There is a debate about whether the appropriate level to study referential relations between pronominal expressions should be morphosyntactic or discursive. This article explores the issue through a study of some cases where the referential sense of a pronoun does not correspond to its morphosyntactic endowment. It is concluded that morphosyntax is necessary to ban otherwise possible discursive construals, but that - in possible structures - the interpretation received by pronouns is determined by discursive factors
Keywords: anaphoric expressions; pronouns; clitics; discourse; reference shift.
