Abstract

The article describes the behavior of aesthetic adjectives (bonito ‘beautiful’) in the so-called innovative constructions with estar ‘be estar ’, documented in some American varieties of Spanish. These innovative structures (El poema está bonito ‘The poem is beautiful’) do not compare stages of the subject with respect to an aesthetic property (as would be their meaning in general Spanish), but rather express a perspectivized assertion, linked to the subjective judgment of the speaker about a particular quality. The article explains this pattern of variation on the basis of the work by Gumiel-Molina, Moreno-Quibén and Pérez-Jiménez (2020) and Moreno-Quibén (2022), according to which the classes of adjectives that appear in perspectivized estar-sentences have undergone a process of argument augmentation. Aesthetic adjectives in innovative estar-construction have an experiencer in their argument structure in the varieties of Spanish where this construction is possible. This experiencer serves as the basis for establishing the comparison required by estar and ultimately gives rise to the subjective/perspectivized meaning of the copular structure.

美国西班牙语变体中带有审美形容词的透视estar句子

本文描述了审美形容词(bonito ' beautiful ')在与estar ' be estar '的所谓创新结构中的行为，这些结构记录在一些美国西班牙语变体中。这些创新的结构(El poema estbonito '诗是美丽的')并没有将主题的各个阶段与审美属性进行比较(就像它们在一般西班牙语中的意思一样)，而是表达了一种透视的断言，与说话者对特定品质的主观判断有关。本文在Gumiel-Molina、moreno - quibsamen和psamez - jimsamnez(2020)和moreno - quibsamez(2022)的研究基础上解释了这种变化模式，根据该模式，出现在角度化星句中的形容词类别经历了一个论点增强的过程。在各种西班牙语中，创新型星形结构中的美学形容词在其论点结构中有一个体验者，在这种结构可能存在的地方。这个经验者是建立estar所需要的比较的基础，并最终产生了copular结构的主观/透视意义。
