Abstract

CALVO, Julio. The Beneficiary’s case in Quechua and Spanish. Leng. Soc. [online]. 2023, vol.22, n.2, pp.455-472.  Epub Sep 27, 2023. ISSN 1729-9721.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/lengsoc.v22i2.25249.

This article discusses the role of the pragmatic internal suffix -puof Quechua, correlated with -mu-, and its complex relationship with the casual peripheral suffix -paq, in order to warn about its syntactic-pragmatic dysfunctionality despite covering semantically both the Recipient field. It will also be analyzed if there is a similar parallelism between the unstressed pronouns (me, te, se, lo...), the suffix -ario and the preposition para in the Spanish language. The Quechua-Spanish contrast will make it possible to ensure that the pragmatic projection is similar in the two languages, although morphologically and syntactically they are so different.

Keywords : Spanish morphology; Quechua morphology; spatial pragmatics; deixis; contrastive linguistics.
