Expression of repetivity in contemporary Spanish: periphrastic and derivative means
ZÍKOVÁ, Petra
This thesis is concentrated on expressing repetition by derivative and periphrastic means. The theoretical section begins with the concept of the repetition in Spanish. It is focused on the analysis of prefix re- and periphrastic construction volver a + infinitive. The purpose is to set the rules in terms of its use. In the practical section, fifty verbs are being analysed within the range of the reference corpus of The Spanish Royal Academy. The intention of this thesis is to study particular means of expression and to observe some preference in use and possible semantic changes. We try to organise these verbs into several different semantic groups according to the prefix implication recieved while being added to a root of a verb in a certain context.
