FLORES CERVANTES, Marcela  e  MALDONADO SOTO, Ricardo. Metonimia sintáctica en construcciones de transferencia. Nueva rev. filol. hisp. [online]. 2016, vol.64, n.1, pp.1-26. ISSN 2448-6558.

This paper analyses three dar ‘give’ constructions that designate events of emergence and growth instead of transfer. Unlike classical analysis where the arguments of the verb undergo deletion we propose that the notion of transfer is bleached out to allow simpler events -both conceptually and in terms of argument structure- whose existence is naturally accounted for in terms of dynamic metonymic processes where constructions share features influencing each other such that one paves the way for the emergence of the other.
