En preterito simple (supo), el verbo de estado saber modifica su aspecto de situacion a logro (‘empezar a saber’) o a estado acotado (‘saber durante cierto tiempo’), lo que sugiere que este cambio no depende solo del operador de tiempo perfectivo. El presente trabajo, a partir de un analisis de corpus, muestra que elementos lexicos, gramaticales y discursivos inciden en la determinacion del aspecto en situacion en supo. La interpretacion especifica depende de propiedades del momento de referencia temporal en que se localiza la situacion. FACTORS AFFECTING THE DETERMINATION OF THE SITUATION ASPECT OF SUPO Abstract: Spanish stative verb saber (to know) can change its lexical aspect to achievement (‘begin to know’) or to bounded state (‘knowing for some time’), when it is in simple past tense (supo). This suggests that the type of situation does not depend only on the perfective operator. This paper, based on the analysis of 232 cases collected from the current Spanish language corpus of the Real Academia Espanola (CREA), shows that lexical, grammatical, and discursive meaning affect the determination of the type of situation of supo. The specific interpretation depends on the properties of the reference time in which the situation is located. Keywords: Spanish grammar, situation aspect, aspectual coercion, reference time, linguistic context. |
