      note          = "Do resultative constructions exist in Spanish? This work
                       deals with Spanish resultative constructions in order to
                       explain the category combinations available in this
                       language to express the result component. Our main aim is
                       to give rise to a higher visibility of the Spanish
                       constructions, as its analysis has been traditionally
                       biased by English resultatives studies. Ramchand’s
                       framework, which has been adopted here, is directly related
                       to the Nanosyntax hypotheses. By following a morphological
                       approach, we have concluded that the consideration of
                       Spanish constructions from the standpoint of English ones
                       is inappropriate, because they are not the same at all
                       (i.e. they can not be perfectly and equally translated).
                       Indeed, we placed linguistic variation in the morphological
                       domain of each language and, more concretely, in the
                       categories selected for the expression of the result
                       component. We argue that the result component is universal
                       in natural languages, whereas languages seem to differ in
                       how their morphology interacts with the syntactic
                       interface, what definitely offers empirical evidence to
                       Chomsky’s Biolinguistic Hypothesis.",
