Abstract

From medieval to present-day Spanish there have been important
syntactic changes in object pronouns. In Galician-Portuguese (except
in Brazilian Portuguese) and in Astur-Leonese we can still find the
enclitic pronominal collocation that was used in medieval Castilian,
but already with certain regularisations. In the Galician dialects from
the Ellas Valley (Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain) the current syntax of the
atonic pronoun is partly similar to that of present-day Castilian and
Brazilian, partly analogous to current Galician, but it is original in a
particular aspect: namely, the enclisis of pronouns o, a, os, as with
participles in compound tenses and periphrases.
