La posición de clíticos argumentales con complejos verbales en un corpus oral: Precisiones sociolingüísticas.

In Spanish, the pronominal clitics show the possibility of variation when accompanying a verbal complex, since they can go before or after it. This possibility has been dealt with from formalist approaches, diachronic views and, to a lesser extent, with sociolinguistic criteria. From this last perspective, we have contributions on Canarian Spanish (Troya & Pérez, 2011), Venezuelan (Navarro, 1990; Zabalegui, 2008), Mexican (Schwenter & Torres Cacoullos, 2014) and Castilian Spanish (Illamola & Vila, 2015). These are studies with disparity of scope, corpus and criteria, so it is necessary to study this phenomenon in a monolingual corpus, which can be replicated in other Hispanic areas. After setting forth some previous methodological issues derived from the nature of the corpus data, we have found that unusual cases are relevant, such as verbal semantism and the presence of the lexical subject, along with the factors already pointed out in previous studies. However, the main input of this work is the verification of the influence of the social factor 'level of education', which is depicted in a curvilinear pattern where the intermediate group presents postposition percentages superior to the other groups. Women, adults and old age groups are particularly contributing to this pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
