Dos factores lingüísticos en pugna en la explicación de la tasa pronominalambigüedad y tiempo verbal

In Spanish, pronominal subjects may or may not appear. Pronominal rate is determined by a complex conglomerate of factors. Among these factors, together with other more determinant ones, there are two that are very frequently mentioned: the ambiguity of the verb form and the verb tense. In the PRESEEA corpus (Granada) we have detected a strong collinearity between both factors. This paper is devoted to a deeper analysis of this interdependence of factors, so that we conclude that it is the verb tense and not the ambiguity of the verb form which actually influences the increase of the pronominal rate in the imperfect tense. We therefore propose that other researchers take these data into account for future analyses.
