This book explores the relationships between possession, existence and location. After revising the conceptualization of possession in Latin, the analysis is extended to Spanish. From this perspective, certain possession constructions in Spanish are examined. First of all, it is argued that all datives are related to possession in dative constructions; secondly, the characterizing features of the transitive, intransitive and reflexive variants are determined in constructions with psychological verbs; and, finally, the existence of comitative possession in Spanish is proved by the analysis of comitative constructions. -- Back cover.

Cuatro temas que se plantea todo hablante de una lengua como la española: el hablar, el saber hablar, el saber qué se habla y el saber qué se dice cuando se habla. Los cinco artículos reunidos en este volumen están dedicados al tercero: saber qué se habla, pues es el que corresponde al encuentro entre la lengua histórica, es decir, la lengua concreta, que todos reconocemos como española y la normatividad que la funda y dirige. La lingüística moderna ha ignorado siempre el tema, atribuyéndolo a las "falsas ideas" que introduce en el hablante la gramática escolar. En este libro se muestra, por el contrario, su importancia constitutiva de la lengua histórica y algunos de los caminos que puede seguir una lingüística diferente.
