| Sumario: | Abstract:
This paper analyses the relationship between the syntactic structure of finite verbs and
their meaning. In order to do so, it provides an overview of the notion of polysemy, the
linguistic categories of finites and non-finites, verbs of complete and incomplete
predication, transitive and intransitive verbs, as well as the concepts of quasi-passive and
empty carriers. What is more, it explores the way in which these categories affect the
translation of finite verbs into Spanish and highlights the importance of recognizing
syntactic structures when translating. |
