This study sets out to assemble data on the use of the perfect forms in three works from the preclassical period (»La Celestina«, Encina's »Teatro« and the »Diálogo de la lengua«). Various factors are analyzed: temporal, aspectual and modal indicators, coordination and subordination, the person of the verb, the verbal lexeme, various types o...

Most materials used in contemporary life and industry are heterogeneous (composites) and multicomponent, possessing a rich and complex internal structure. This internal structure, or microstructure, plays a key role in understanding and controlling the continuum behavior, or macroscopic, of a wide variety of materials. The modeling process is a critical tool for scientists and engineers studying the analysis and experimentation f...

In this work, an overall description of the phenomena known generically as lexical relations is developed, using methodology based on semantic functionalism. The phenomena described include polysemy, homonymy, synonymy, hyperonymy, cohyponymy, hyponymy and antonymy, with special attention being paid to polysemy or homonymy and in particular to synonymy and its relation to antonymy, parasynonymy and hyponymy. The theoretical basis of a research...
