GONZALEZ GALLARDO, María Fernanda  e  JIMENEZ MARTINEZ, María Isabel. The Transit of Transitivity: From Priscian to Modern Linguistics. Nova tellus [online]. 2024, vol.42, n.1, pp.149-172.  Epub 19-Abr-2024. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2024.42.1/278500x0100sx038.

In this work we make an account of the way in which the concept of transitivity has been understood by traditional grammar and how it is treated by current linguistics, from the notion of transitivity developed by Priscian, a 6th century Grammarian. Our goal is to clearly identify the two conceptions from which the Grammarian understood this syntactic phenomenon: a narrow one (simpler and reduced) and a broad one (with a higher degree of linguistic reflection); and the way in which both have influenced grammatical theory during the history of grammar.
