The Great Spanish "Le-Lo" Controversy

Roldan, Mercedes

Linguistics, 147, 15-30, Mar 1 75

The distinction between the clitics "le" and "lo" is different for Peninsular Spanish than for Latin American Spanish but is in both cases systematic. The division in Castilian Spanish is along the line of animate-inanimate. The Latin American division is between accusative and dative case. (TL)
