Abstract
This work establishes as a subject the description of the agreement relation between the singular dative pronoun and its nominal reference in a written corpus of Spanish. Given the tendency in Spanish to duplicate the dative referents with le/s, we are interested in studying the trend towards duplication of a plural form with singular pronoun le.
The Prototypical Cognitive Approach holds that all speaker choice is significant and grammar is understood as an open collection of structures or regularities that come from speech and take shape it in a permanent process of restructuring and resemantization in use. Given these assumptions, an analysis of the problems of agreement is proposes with attention to linguistic factors such as inanimation and postponement of the indirect object with respect to the verb and the grammatical number of the direct object.
