ARCHITECTURE DU SYSTÈME VERBAL ESPAGNOL ACTUEL : DESCRIPTION ET ANALYSE DU JEU DU SIGNIFIANT
THE STRUCTURE OF THE VERBAL SYSTEM IN PRESENT-DAY SPANISH: A DESCRIPTION AND AN ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF THE SIGNIFIER

Summary/Abstract: The Structure of the Verbal System in Present-day Spanish: a Description and an Analysis of the Role of the Signifier. Based on a description of the signifier , this study will attempt to go beyond the underlying patterns of the present-day structure of the verbal system and highlight the referential powers of several verbal paradigms. The analysis appears to confirm, on the one hand, the relevance of a deictic conception of the verbal system, whereby the speaker represents the axial reference and, on the other, the basis of the decreasingly relevant value of the form in -ra as compared to the form in -se.
