TY - JOUR A1 - Hennemann, Anja T1 - Reporting on ‘thinking’ in Spanish and Portuguese and the role of the subject pronoun N2 - The present paper is concerned with the phenomenon of reporting on the speakers’ thinking when both the reporting and the reported clauses originate in one and the same speaker, i.e. the performative uses of the verbs sp. creer and pt. achar (‘think’). The data are retrieved from the CdE-NOW and CdP-NOW. Adopting both a quantitative and a qualitative perspective, I concentrate on reporting on thinking with and without the overt expression of the subject pronouns sp. yo and pt. eu. In doing so, the constructions (yo) creo (que) and (eu) acho (que) as well as parenthetic and right-peripheral creo yo and acho eu are studied. According to the corpus data and compared to other possible constructions with creo and acho, creo que and acho que represent the most frequent constructions if searching for the ‘node’ creo or acho, that is, if the non-use of the subject pronoun exceeds its explicit expression.

Su punto cúlmine está marcado por el surgimiento de una “Academia Antártica” en las primeras décadas del siglo XVII, mientras que su fin, se aprecia a fines del mismo siglo, cuando eruditos de las órdenes religiosas, especialmente Juan de Espinosa y Medrano en sus textos en defensa de la poesía y las ciencias, negaron a la poesía cualquier estatuto teológico, sirviéndose sin embargo de ella para escribir sus sermones y textos. A partir del auge y caída de esta legitimación teológica en el virreinato del Perú, este estudio muestra la existencia de dos movimientos que forman un quiasmo entre una teologización de la poesía y una poetización de la teología, en cuyo centro velado se encuentra en disputa el saber teórico y práctico de la poesía. Lo que está en disputa en este sentido no es la poesía, entendida como una cumbre de las bellas letras, sino la posesión legítima de un modo de lectura analógico y tipológico del orden del universo, fundado en las Sagradas Escrituras y en la historia de la salvación, y un modo poético para doctrinar a todos los miembros de la sociedad virreinal en concordancia con aquel modo de lectura. N2 - Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung ist der Aufstieg und Fall der theologischen Legitimierung der gehobenen Poesie, die sich ab Ende des 16. und im Laufe des 17. Jahrhunderts im Vizekönigreich Peru vollzieht. Der Höhepunkt dieser Legitimierung liegt in dem Entstehen einer „Academia Antártica“ (Antarktische Akademie) in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 17. Jahrhunderts. Ihr Ende wiederum beginnt in der zweiten Hälfte desselben Jahrhunderts, wenn Gelehrte religiöser Orden, vor allem Juan de Espinosa Medrano und seine Texte zur Verteidigung der Dichtung und der Wissenschaften, diese theologische Macht der weltlichen Poesie bestreiten und für ihre eigenen Predigten und Texten in Anspruch nehmen. Ausgehend vom Aufstieg und Fall der theologischen Legitimierung im Vizekönigreich Peru zeigt diese Untersuchung die Existenz zweier Bewegungen, die einen Chiasmus aus einer Theologisierung der Poesie und einer Poetisierung der Theologie bilden, in dessen Zentrum um das theoretische und praktische Wissen der Dichtung gestritten wird. Gestritten wird in diesem Sinne nicht über die Poesie, verstanden als Höhepunkt der schönen Literatur, sondern über den legitimen Besitz eine analogischen und typologischen Lesart der Ordnung des Universums, gegründet in den Heiligen Schriften und in der Heilsgeschichte, und einen poetischen Weg, alle Mitglieder der vizeköniglichen Gesellschaft in Übereinstimmung mit jener Lesart zu indoktrinieren. N2 - The subject of this study is the rise and fall of the theological legitimation of poetry that took place in the Viceroyalty of Peru from the end of the 16th century and during the 17th century. The peak of this process of legitimation lies in the emergence of an "Academia Antártica" (Antarctic Academy) in the first decades of the 17th century. Its end, in turn, began in the second half of the same century, when scholars of religious orders, especially Juan de Espinosa Medrano and his texts defending poetry and science, denied secular poetry any theological power but used it instead for their own sermons and texts. Starting from the rise and fall of the theological legitimation in the Viceroyalty of Peru, this study shows the existence of two movements that form a chiasmus of a theologization of poetry and a poeticization of theology, at the centre of which the theoretical and practical knowledge of poetry is disputed. In this sense, there is no dispute about poetry, understood as the culmination of beautiful literature, but about the legitimate possession of an analogical and typological mode to read the order of the universe, founded in the Holy Scriptures and in the history of salvation, and a poetic way of indoctrinating all members of the vice-royal society in accordance with that reading.

It is argued that both constructions are to be distinguished from one another because creo Ø has a subjective function, while in creo yo, it is the intersubjective dimension that is particularly prominent. The present investigation takes both a qualitative and a quantitative perspective. With regard to the latter, the problem of quantitative representativity is addressed. The discussion posed the question of how empirical research can feed back into theory, more precisely, into the framework of Cognitive Construction Grammar. The data to be analyzed here are retrieved from the corpora Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual and Corpus del Español.

We predicted only locality effects, that is, a slowdown produced by increased dependency distance (Gibson, 2000; Lewis and Vasishth, 2005). Furthermore, we expected stronger locality effects for readers with low working memory capacity. Contrary to our predictions, low-capacity readers showed faster reading with increased distance, while high-capacity readers showed locality effects. We suggest that while the locality effects are compatible with memory-based explanations, the speedup of low-capacity readers can be explained by an increased probability of retrieval failure. We present a computational model based on ACT-R built under the previous assumptions, which is able to give a qualitative account for the present data and can be tested in future research. Our results suggest that in some cases, interpreting longer RTs as indexing increased processing difficulty and shorter RTs as facilitation may be too simplistic: The same increase in processing difficulty may lead to slowdowns in high-capacity readers and speedups in low-capacity ones. Ignoring individual level capacity differences when investigating locality effects may lead to misleading conclusions.

In SOV languages, however, the opposite effect has been found: antilocality (see discussion in Levy et al., 2013). Antilocality effects can be explained by the expectation-based approach as proposed by Levy (2008) or by the activation-based model of sentence processing as proposed by Lewis and Vasishth (2005). We report an eye-tracking and a self-paced reading study with sentences in Spanish together with measures of individual differences to examine the distinction between expectation- and memory-based accounts, and within memory-based accounts the further distinction between DLT and the activation-based model. The experiments show that (i) antilocality effects as predicted by the expectation account appear only for high-capacity readers; (ii) increasing dependency length by interposing material that modifies the head of the dependency (the verb) produces stronger facilitation than increasing dependency length with material that does not modify the head; this is in agreement with the activation-based model but not with the expectation account; and (iii) a possible outcome of memory load on low-capacity readers is the increase in regressive saccades (locality effects as predicted by memory-based accounts) or, surprisingly, a speedup in the self-paced reading task; the latter consistent with good-enough parsing (Ferreira et al., 2002). In sum, the study suggests that individual differences in working memory capacity play a role in dependency resolution, and that some of the aspects of dependency resolution can be best explained with the activation-based model together with a prediction component.
