The conceptual basis of ablativity

Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to define the notion of ablativity in terms of its event structure. To achieve this goal, the authors discuss the contribution of several semantic theories dealing with that conceptual class to finally propose their own definition, extensively based on the cognitive frame-based model by Wotjak (2006; 2011a; 2016). Even though the survey is mainly concerned with the theoretically relevant aspects of that semantic class, many of them are also illustrated with examples from different languages, especially from Latin, Spanish and German. Finally, the authors explain how ablativity conceptually relates to other semantic classes, such as concomitance or possession.

“…Nuestro objetivo es examinar algunas consecuencias teóricas del estudio de prefijos verbales que hemos llevado a cabo en otras ocasiones (Hernández Arocha, 2014, 2016a, 2016b, 2017Hernández Arocha y Hernández Socas, 2019a, 2019bHernández Socas, 2020). Nos centraremos, por tanto, en las consecuencias teóricas de los casos que se revelaron paradigmáticos a la hora de explicar las diferencias y semejanzas interlingüísticas fundamentales desde un punto de vista tipológico y que tienen implicaciones más allá del ámbito de la morfología.…”
