Abstract

THE ANALYSIS OF COPULA choice in adjectival constructions has been the center of many investigations in Spanish, and they have focused on theoretical accounts (Clements 1988, 2006), sociolinguistic perspectives (e.g., Alfaraz 2012; Brown and Cortés-Torres 2012), first-language (e.g., Requena, Román-Hernández, and Miller, 2015), and second-language acquisitional contexts (e.g., Geeslin 2003), and language-contact situations in the US (Silva-Corvalán 1986) and Spanish in contact with other languages (Geeslin and Guijarro-Fuentes 2008). This work has contributed to our understanding of the factors involved in predicting copula choice as well as in describing the patterns of variation and change across varieties of Spanish.
