| Summary: | This work discusses the semi clitic climbing. It occurs when in a verbalphrasecomposed by non-finite verbs the speaker adds the clitic after thefirst verb (ir a verlo – irlo a ver). The analysis tries to determine the speakers’preference for this position in the Spanish spoken in Houston, Texas, byMexican-American speakers. R esults from data divided across differentgenerations evidence a process of linguistic change that favors the eliminationof this option. Progressive lower frequencies along the bilingualcontinuum suggest this outcome for the semi clitic climbing, position thatpresents high frequencies in monolingual varieties of Spanish. |
