| description | Two positions have been traditionally defended regarding the constituent order in a transitive clause in Spanish: for some authors Spanish is an SVO language, and for others, given its higher productivity, it is VO. It is my contention that, far from being arbitrary, the distribution between the two alternating structures can be seen to be mutually complementary. The aim of this paper is to show that both types of clauses are, in fact, motivated by the notions of topic and human reference, and that their different productivity is determined by grammatical rules directly related to the discursive structure of the text. Thus, in the case of an (S)VO order, a SVO clause involves a referent of S activated as a topic, as a result of which the following VO clause or clauses imply that their covert subject is already activated and, accordingly, Spanish grammar doesn’t require its phonetic realization. There cannot be a VO clause if its covert subject has not been previously activated. |

It is my contention that, far from being arbitrary, the distribution between the two alternating structures can be seen to be mutually complementary. The aim of this paper is to show that both types of clauses are, in fact, motivated by the notions of topic and human reference, and that their different productivity is determined by grammatical rules directly related to the discursive structure of the text. Thus, in the case of an (S)VO order, a SVO clause involves a referent of S activated as a topic, as a result of which the following VO clause or clauses imply that their covert subject is already activated and, accordingly, Spanish grammar doesn’t require its phonetic realization. There cannot be a VO clause if its covert subject has not been previously activated. Tradicionalmente se han planteado dos perspectivas a propósito del orden de constituyentes de la oración transitiva en español: para algunos es una lengua SVO, y para otros, en función de su mayor productividad, VO. El caso es que la distribución entre ambas estructuras alternantes no es arbitraria, sino mutuamente complementaria. Con base en ello, el objeto de este trabajo es mostrar que ambos tipos de oraciones están motivados por las nociones de tópico y referencia humana, y que su distinta productividad se determina por reglas de gramática directamente vinculadas con la estructuración discursiva del texto. Así, asumido un orden (S)VO, la oración SVO conlleva la activación del referente de S como tópico, hecho lo cual, la subsecuente oración u oraciones VO implican que la referencia de su sujeto tácito ya está activada y que, por lo tanto, la gramática de la lengua no requiere su realización fonética. No puede haber oración VO si el referente de su sujeto tácito no ha sido previamente activado.
