Abstract

The present paper explores Differential Object Marking in a variety of Asturian (Western Iberian Romance) spoken in western Asturias (northwestern Spain). This ancestral form of speech stands out from Central Asturian and especially from Standard Spanish. For a number of reasons, ranging from profound changes in pronunciation, vocabulary, morphology and information structure to slight but very relevant effects on syntax. The main goal of this study is to examine the special marking of direct objects in order to find out what triggers the distribution of Differential Object Marking in this variety. To this aim, this paper will examine, from a variationist perspective, the influence of a number of semantic and discourse-pragmatic parameters on the marking of direct objects in this Western Asturian language as well as in Standard Spanish 1 and Central Asturian (which is generally considered the normative variety of Asturian). The results obtained from this comparison will allow us to outline the differences between these three varieties in terms of object marking, shedding more light on the origin and function of Differential Object Marking in Spanish.

阿斯图里语DOM研究(' Dialectu Vaqueiru ')

本论文探讨了在阿斯图里亚斯西部(西班牙西北部)使用的各种阿斯图里亚语(西伊比利亚罗曼语)中的差异对象标记。这种祖先的语言形式从中阿斯图里亚语，特别是从标准西班牙语中脱颖而出。原因有很多，从发音、词汇、词法和信息结构的深刻变化到对句法的轻微但非常相关的影响。本研究的主要目的是研究直接对象的特殊标记，以找出是什么触发了差异对象标记在这一品种中的分布。为此，本文将从变异论的角度，研究西阿斯图里语以及标准西班牙语和中阿斯图里语(通常被认为是阿斯图里语的规范变体)中一些语义和语篇语用参数对直接对象标记的影响。从这种比较中获得的结果将使我们能够概述这三种变体在对象标记方面的差异，从而更清楚地了解西班牙语中差异对象标记的起源和功能。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Language Contact (JLC) is a peer-reviewed open access journal. It focuses on the study of language contact, language use and language change in accordance with a view of language contact whereby both empirical data (the precise description of languages and how they are used) and the resulting theoretical elaborations (hence the statement and analysis of new problems) become the primary engines for advancing our understanding of the nature of language. This involves linguistic, anthropological, historical, and cognitive factors. Such an approach makes a major new contribution to understanding language change at a time when there is a notable increase of interest and activity in this field. The Journal of Language Contact accepts articles in English and French.
