Gustavo and Grant publish article in Glossa!

Gustavo Guajardo, who finished his Ph.D. in 2017, and Grant Goodall have published “On the status of Concordantia Temporum in Spanish: An experimental approach” in the open-access journal Glossa. This article is based on a large-scale acceptability experiment done in three countries as part of Gustavo’s dissertation work. The article argues that the agreement mechanism known as Concordantia Temporum, in which matrix and subjunctive clauses appear to agree in tense, actually does not exist and that the facts are better accounted for by general principles of tense interpretation. Gustavo is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in Linguistics at the Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
