2. The Evolution of the Verbal Form cantara in Catalan: A Textual Corpora Analysis

   Carles SEGURA-LLOPES

   Original title: L’evolució de la forma verbal cantara en català: un estudi de corpus

   Published in

   Keywords: Catalan, Historical Grammar, Semantics, Syntax, Verbal Tense.

   The analysis of verbal tenses is a well-studied topic in Romance Languages, for which there are excellent studies and monographs in what pertains to the Catalan language. In this article we offer an overview of this topic based on an analysis of several electronic corpora developed within the Institute ISIC-IVITRA or with its participation, such as: the Electronic Corpus of Old Catalan (Corpus Informatitzat del Català Antic [CICA]), the Metacorpus(that is the Electronic Multilingual Corpus of Old and Contemporary Texts, Corpus Informatitzat Multilingüe de Textos Antics i Contemporanis [CIMTAC]), and the Electronic Corpus for the Old Catalan Grammar (Corpus Informatitzat per a la Gramàtica del Català Antic [CIGCA]). We study the forms of the verb cantara from the first examples of its use in the 12th century to the end of the 16th century. Our intention is to identify their main values, describe the progressive development, and determine how and when these forms assumed the typical syntantic functions associated with the imperfect subjunctive that are typical of Castilian and of many of the Valencian varieties of the Catalan language.

3. From cognitive perception to auditory perception. The evolution of the verb entendre in Old Catalan (13th-16th centuries)

   Original title: De la percepció cognitiva a la percepció auditiva. L’evolució del verb entendre en català antic (segles XIII-XVI)

   Published in

   Keywords: Auditory Verbs, Evidenciality, Invited Inferencing, Old Catalan, Perception Verbs, Verb Entendre.

   This study analyzes the process of semantic change by which the Old Catalan verb entendre developed from the 13th to the 16th centuries from a meaning based on intellectual perception to one implying auditory perception. In particular, this article shows that by the end of the 14th century the verb entendre had only semanticized the perception of linguistic stimuli and had not fused completely with the meaning of the verb oir, as was the case with the evolution of INTENDERE in other Romance languages (such as French, Occitan, and Sardinian). Our study has been based on data analysis of an electronic linguistic corpus using the concepts of E. C. Traugott's Invited Interfering Theory of Semantic Change (TCSII) (2012) and the concept of evidenciality.

4. The Arbitral Sentence Regarding Walls and Valleys from 1406. Study and Edition

   Original title: La sentència arbitral de murs i valls del 1406. Estudi i edició

   Published in

   Keywords: Edició, Junta de Murs i Valls, Manuscrit, Medieval, Urbanisme.

   Public urbanism during the late middle ages in Valencia was regulated by the activity of the Jurats, their executive power, and the Junta de Murs i Valls, an institution created in 1358 to manage the constructions of walls, moats or roads inside the city’s boundaries. This institution (the Junta), however, was not provided with a legal basis until 1406 when an arbitral sentence between the city of Valencia and the military estate was promulgated. From this agreement or sentence, an edition of which is included in this article, we can know the legal and administrative development of this institution as well details on construction activities in medieval Valencia.

5. The Evolution of the Main Topics in Ausias March According to the Three-Fold Love Process

   Tània ARAGÓ MELIÀ

   Original title: L’evolució dels principals tòpics ausiasmarquians en relació amb l’evolució de les tres fases amoroses

   Published in

   Keywords: 15th century, Ausiàs March, Disappointmentm poetry, Loving failure, Passion.

   This article analyzes the writings of Ausiàs March as derived from the concept of ‘failure’ in love. Ausiàs was not interested in the abstract analysis of the different types of love but in the study of his very own nature, as he felt devastated by his dissapointment with love. His verses reveal a personality full of contradictions showing his changing and volatile mood as he focused on three different concepts of love: spiritual love, human love, passionate love. Through the analysis of these three concepts, we try to answer the following question: through his analysis of the secrets of love, was Ausiàs March able to ever find virtue?

   This article deals with the figure of Francesc-Gilabert de Centelles i Queralt (1408-1480), first Earl of Oliva (in the Kingdom of Valencia) and highlights his role in the Crown of Aragon, especially in reference to his presence in the “Corts” (or Parliamentary Courts).
