Meeting Description:

Xavier Villalba (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona): 'La inversión de predicado y la estructura informativa en el SDet'

En esta charla se defiende la hipótesis de que la arquitectura del SDet reproduce la de la oración también por lo que respecta a la estructura informativa. Para ello me centraré en las construcciones lo alto de la casa y el idiota de Juan y mostraré que contamos con abundantes indicios que apuntan hacia una estructura sujeto-predicado con ascenso del predicado a un SFoc, lo cual produce una partición del SDet en foco (el predicado) y comentario (el sujeto). Ello nos permite dar cuenta de numerosos datos en gran medida no descritos, como por ejemplo las restricciones referenciales sobre el sujeto de estas construcciones. Finalmente, mostraremos que el análisis predice (correctamente) una clara diferencia entre el ascenso del predicado en estas construcciones y la inversión de predicado de las lenguas germánicas.
