Viewpointed morphology: A unified account of Spanish verb-complement compounds as fictive interaction structures 2023 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Spanish verb-complement (VC) compounds, one of the most common compound types in Spanish, raise interesting questions, because they are inflected, prototypically containing a verb in the third-person singular of the present indicative. This complexity seems paradoxical, given the strong restrictions of Romance languages on word compounding. Based on a self-compiled corpus of over 1,400 VC compounds, we show that the compound’s verb may display different persons and illocutionary forces. We claim that all Spanish VC compounds can be parsimoniously accounted for as involving a grammaticalized perspective-indexing structure, setting up a non-actual enunciation. We identify three subtypes of nominal VC compounds according to whether they refer to: (i) the fictive addresser of the non-actual enunciation it is composed of (e.g. metomentodo [I+put+myself+into+everything], ‘meddler’), (ii) the fictive addressee (e.g. tentetieso [hold+yourself+upright], ‘tilting doll’), or (iii) the fictive conversational topic (e.g. pintalabios [paints+lips], ‘lipstick’). We further argue that, despite undeniable morphological constraints, Spanish VC compounds involve a similarly complex semantic and morphological structure as English multi-word compounds like ‘wanna-be(s)’, ‘forget-me-not(s)’, or ‘bring-and-buy sale’. This reveals that intersubjectivity can be central to word formation. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/Psylex H11-17R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-AEI/PID2021-123302NB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 0.8 2023 LINGUISTICS 160 / 296 = 0.541 2023 Q3 T2 0.638 2023 Philosophy 2023 Q1 Linguistics and Language 2023 Q1 2.2 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Marqueta Gracia, B.
