Abstract

In this article, we discuss the linguistic variation between the Simple Perfect Preterite (SPP) and the Compound Perfect Preterite (CPP) in the encoding of the past in relation to the time of speech. Our research is based on the theory of variation and change (Labov 1972, 1994, 2001) and the considerations by Donni of Mirande (1992), Lopez (1994), Gutiérrez Araus (1997), Fontanella de Weinberg (2004), Aleza Izquierdo and Enguita Utrilla (2010) and Jara Yunpaqui (2013), about the uses and values of these tenses. Our data were obtained through the selection of regional newspapers in Argentina from May 29, 2015 to June 2, 2015, chosen in accordance with the Fontanella de Weinberg (2004) proposal of dialectal division of Argentine Spanish. We obtained a total of 259 data, of which 241 contain SPP (93.1%) and 18 contain CPP (6.9%). We found that pre-hodierno time counters and dynamic verbs call for the use of the simple form, while static verbs and hodierno markers call for the use of the compound form. Regarding modalizers, we found out that certitude markers call for the use of SPP and uncertainty markers call for the use of CPP.
