This monograph offers a diachronic study of the change in Spanish perfect auxiliary selection between Old and Early Modern Spanish that led to the gradual replacement of the auxiliary ser 'be' with the auxiliary haber 'have'. It analyses this process in terms of the interaction between gradience, gradualness,Studies in language companion series ;volume 155.Spanish languageVariationSpanish languageStudy and teachingSpanish languageVariation.Spanish languageStudy and teaching.465Rosemeyer Malte1577855MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791059703321Auxiliary selection in Spanish3856783UNINA
