Propiedades acústicas de las oclusivas simples y eyectivas en nivaĉle (mataguaya)
ABSTRACT
The opposition of the series of stops based on the constricted glottis feature [c.g.] –i.e., pulmonic vs. ejectives– only occurs in approximately 16 % of the phonological inventories of the world’s languages (Maddieson 1984). In Nivaĉle (Mataguayan), the pulmonic vs. ejective contrast involves different places and modes of articulation, but only occurs in onset position. Based on an elicitation task with a Nivaĉle speaker from the Uj’e Lhavos community, Paraguay, this paper presents a preliminary acoustic study of voiceless and ejective stops. Based on 118 repetitions of words, 590 values were obtained, which were statistically computed in a descriptive and inferential way by means of ANOVAS. The type of sound was analyzed according to the airstream mechanism and the place of articulation. The following acoustic measures were analyzed: (i) duration of the closure, (ii) voice onset time (VOT), (iii) perturbation of the fundamental frequency (F0), (iv) jitter, and (v) rise time. The results show statistically significant values for the distinction of the stops under study.

Acerca de la creatividad. "El Diego" y el lenguaje humano
Abstract
The goal of this essay is to emphasize an analogy between language creativity and the inventive power of Diego Armando Maradona’s football. Accordingly, we develop some syntactic and semantic remarks concerning sequences like el Diego, in which there is proper noun preceded by a definite article. The essay tries to show that in these phrases the proper noun presents characteristics, features and properties of the referred entity. This process would show that the proper noun is recategorized as a common noun and, as such can hence be combined with a definite article.

Bandoneones, lenguas y el peligro de extinción
Abstract
Myths are found in different fields. In this essay we focus on the myth of difficulty in relation to an apparent lack of reasoning. In order to question this myth, we propose an account of one of the most characteristic instruments in Argentinian popular music, the bandoneon, and of the alleged difficulty associated with some languages. Our goal is to show that this myth is not only false for languages and bandoneons, but it also may result in dangerous consequences for both.

Enseñanza de gramática en la escuela primaria: una propuesta a partir de la noción de estructura argumental
ABSTRACT
The objective of this article is to present a didactic proposal through which the study of grammar contents could foster the systematization and strengthening of strategies to comprehend and produce texts on the part of students. In concrete, the activities provided are specially designed for first, second and third period of elementary school. The grammatical content that serves as a focal point for our discussion is argument structure of predicates. According to Grimshaw (1990), argument structure is the lexical representation of the grammatical information about a given predicate (i.e., quantity and hierarchy of arguments and thematic roles). On the basis of this definition, we argue that grammar activities on distinct aspects of argument structure can serve as a strategy to comprehend how meaning is structured at the level of the sentence. Furthermore, the work on argument structure allows us to reconsider some of the stipulated contents present in official curricular designs (concretely, the curriculum design of Río Negro, Argentina).

Gramaticalidad, corrección y adecuación en el aula de lengua. Observaciones desde la gramática generativa
ABSTRACT
The Generative framework argues that human beings are genetically endowed to acquire language. This capacity comes from a language faculty with linguistic specifications that shape the language acquisition process. According to this approach, the child does not attend school to learn his mother tongue since he has already acquired it and this language is as perfect and complex as any other human language in the world. In this sense, it is suggested that we move away from a traditional view on grammar teaching that only focuses school practices on activities such as rule memorisation or sentence analysis. This paper analyses the pedagogical implications that the Innatist programme has on the teaching of grammar in the language classroom. First, we reflect on the notions of grammaticality, correctness and adequacy and how these can materialise into activities that allow for the exploration of language through activities that involve the analysis, comparison and generalisation of linguistic phenomena. To achieve this aim, the activities proposed in two workshops for teachers, in Río Negro will be analysed. These show a possible way in which these central axes can be dealt with in grammar topics such as the use of the definite article with proper names and different agreement phenomena in the Spanish variety characteristic of people at Linea Sur in our province.

Clíticos marginales en verbos denominales en -ear
ABSTRACT
The marginal clitics phenomena have been studied in several Romance languages and languages like Modern Greek (Spitzer 1941, Bibis & Roberge 2004, Espinal 2009, Leivada & Grohmann 2014, among other authors). In Rioplantense Spanish, the marginal clitic la (3.sg.Acc.fem) occurs productively in verbs such as zurdearla (‘left-ear it’), kirchneriarla (‘Kirchner-ear it’) y hipiarla (‘hippie-ear it’), principally in informal register. In contrast to the cases studied in the literature, this is a recurring morphological and semantic pattern, i.e., [Npredicative/modal-ear-CLmarginal.Acc.fem.sg]Verb. The aim of this paper is to describe the syntactic and semantic characteristics of [Npredicative/modal-ear-CLmarginal.Acc.fem.sg]Verb verbs. In order to do this, we postulate the following hypothesis: the verbs studied are not idiomatic expressions but productive phenomena whose meaning is compositional. Our analysis is based on neo-constructionist approaches, in the Generative Grammar framework. These theories propose that all syntactic structures are built by combining functional heads and grammatically opaque roots, which gives rise to compositional and predictable meanings.

Inacusativos en el inglés L2 de hispanohablantes: qué nos dicen los errores sobre la representación mental y las intuiciones de esos hablantes
ABSTRACT
This paper addresses the realisation of the subject in L2 English in a case of non-canonical mapping between theta roles and syntactic functions, specifically in the case of unaccusatives. The learners’ L1 is Spanish, which differs from English in two crucial respects: (i) in English, as opposed to Spanish, the subject is obligatorily overt, and (ii) in English, declarative sentences the subject precedes the finite verb, while Spanish allows for postverbal subjects in some cases, notably with unaccusatives and passives. We will examine the issue by means of a grammaticality judgment and a translation task. The final aim is to explore the relation between errors and linguistic intuitions of the learners, as well as the importance of linguistically informed teaching.Keywords: unaccusatives, thematic roles and syntactic functions, second language acquisition.

El cambio lingüístico en la Gramática Generativa. Logros, discusiones y desafíos
ABSTRACT
Diachronic studies have received varying degrees of attention in the linguistic research agenda. Currently, in the Generative framework, diachronic approaches have become relevant to the exploration and analysis of the acquisition problem from a new perspective. In this paper, we focus on the relationship between language change and language acquisition, in order to advance some insights on the current goals of Generative Grammar, taking into account both lines of research.
