This quantity bargains a corpus-based, cognitive-functional research of binominal quantifiers (BQ) in Spanish. the 1st half is devoted to the advance of BQs and starts off from the idea that BQs are cross-linguistically fascinated with grammaticalization. This monograph frames the historical past of BQs in Spanish by way of constructional degrees of switch and highlights the complicated interaction among analogical considering and conceptual endurance. the second one half motivates either the considerable edition within the paradigm of quantifying nouns and their combinatorial development through the exact same mechanism of conceptually-driven analogy. The learn therefore yields an leading edge practical version of BQs in Spanish, in synchrony and in diachrony, with significant implications for reference grammars and concept building.
