The definite article before proper nouns: Particular uses in the spanish of Lima
Abstract
This is an exploratory study on the position of the definite article before proper nouns in the Spanish of Lima. From a pragmatic point of view, the position of the definite article before proper nouns depends on communicative reasons or intentions and the situation that makes its use possible. This paper concludes that speakers use the definite article to refer to people they trust or to people they make fun of.Downloads
