Abstract

ELIZAINCIN, Adolfo  and  GONZALEZ, Macarena. THE GUSTO DE XME GUSTA X LINGUISTIC CHANGE. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2016, n.69, pp.253-268. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n69a11.

Throughout its history, gustar has undergone significant changes, which modified its meaning from a single reference to taste (meals or drinks) to a more general one of pleasure. Furthermore, this bi-argumental verb changed its syntactic structure from, e.g., yo gusto el/del calor to me gusta el calor, i.e. nom > dat. The change is associated with the dative case, the telic force peculiar to Spanish, the analogy with placer, and impersonality. Two similar subcorpora were constructed within the CREA corpus, which showed that the dat construction has succeeded over its rival nom+gustar. This conclusion is confirmed by the DCR data.
