Abstract

The aim of this work is to deeply analyze how possession is revealed in notarial documents written in the center and the south part of Aragón in the 15th century. Special attention will be paid to this construction: (article) + noun + possessive pronoun (la casa mía), as its origin and expansion is located in Aragón; and also to this one: possessive adjective + noun (mi casa), as it is the common structure in Castilian by the same period of time. We will check if there is a difference between the results obtained in our analysis and what happened in Castilian at the same time, due to well-known variation in Aragonese among other morphological aspects. In order to get accurate data, we will extract information from 3 notarial documents from Zaragoza and another 3 documents from Teruel. All of them were handwritten in the 15th century, which is a relevant age in the history of Aragonese language because it is considered the period of the definitive advance of Castilian in Aragón and the loss of the traditional romance in the great part of the kingdom.
