GARCIA TESORO, Ana Isabel y SON JANG, Ji. THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE IN PERUVIAN ANDEAN SPANISH: INNOVATIVE USES AND EXTENSION TO AORISTIC CONTEXTS. Forma funcion, Santaf, de Bogot, D.C. [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.1, pp.93-123. ISSN 0120-338X. https://doi.org/10.15446/fyf.v31n1.70444.
The objective of this paper is to analyze the values of the past perfect tense (PP) in Peruvian Andean Spanish. The study is based on an oral corpus consisting of 28 30-to-60 minute interviews regarding life stories and personal experiences, collected in Cusco and the district of Chinchero. The study focuses on the extension of the PP to areas of perfective past that have no connection with the present, that is, to past simple tense (PS) contexts, as well as on the identification of the evidential and discursive values of the PP in the corpus. Our hypothesis is that the acquisition of these new values of the PP is motivated by contact with Quechua, which triggers linguistic change and accelerates its evolution in the process of grammaticalization of forms of the perfect towards evidentiality.
