La Hipotesis Funcional y la Aparicion de Sujeto no Nominal: El Espanol de Puerto Rico (The Functional Hypothesis and the Appearance of a Non-Nominative Subject: The Spanish of Puerto Rico).

Morales, Amparo

Hispania, v80 n1 p153-65 Mar 1997

Discusses the Puerto Rican dialect and its peculiar placement of subject pronouns. Notes the linguistic variety in the dialect as well as its use of verbs connotating mental and communicative activity and constructions of relativity. These distinctions give rise to the functional hypothesis to account for the peculiarities of Spanish in the Caribbean. (36 references) (Author/CK)
