Resumen de Sobre el carácter no-discreto de la complementación clausal
The notion of “object” arose as a middle way between classical Syntax and the views arrived from Logics. This mix up generates that it be a very flexible concept, corresponding to formal procedures and to the intuitive idea of modifying the meaning of another unity. This double characterization produces hard conflicts for its spread and development in linguistic theory.
More often than any grammatical concept, object is revisited and multiplied in a non very rational typology. The borders between the different types changes as the criteria are more delicate, a sign of their arbitrariness. The hypothesis of this paper is that the different types of objects are not closed classes but a continuum constructed on graded differences. This view agrees with the last trends in linguistic theory.
