Writing at the beginning of the Kingdom of Chile. The Vivar's Crónica

Abstract

The study of syntax is always a chapter to address the diachronic studies. In this text, it reviews the Crónica of Jerónimo de Vivar, according to their particular typological nature, defined by the author. As background, peninsular speech lies in the late Middle Ages in the most relevant to the case and then examines the personal pronoun, the use of unstressed pronouns, the use of some tenses, particularly the subjunctive and the use of scarce diminutives found, to some archaic, the formulas of treatment, especially for tú.
