Introducción teórica a un léxico-gramática del español

Abstract

The present research analyses the theoretical and methodological basis for the realization of a lexicon-grammar of Spanish language. With a qualitative methodology, the article starts from the Harris’ distributional and transformational principles, whose translatable aspects are illustrated in descriptive applications, also assuming that all the theoretical and methodological aspects refer to the ideas and the project of Maurice Gross from the late sixties to the beginning of 2000. The objective will be to demonstrate that the lexicon-grammar consists of the syntactic analysis of language on a taxonomic basis, considering all the concrete words that play an important role in the construction of speeches and sentences: first, verbs, nouns and adjectives in structures with supporting verbs; also prepositions play an important role.
