ABSTRACT

B Are there any cases in which the pronouns could be omitted? Why are the others necessary? What changes would you make for Latin American usage?

Second person forms 9.2 The voseo (B&B 11.3.1-4, Level 3) Read the following text adapted from Boquitas pintadas by the Argentinian writer Manuel Puig (Barcelona: Seix Barral, 3rd edn., 1989) and establish the relationship between Raba and Nene. Do they address one another as vos or usted? Give the corresponding Peninsular versions for the vos forms, not forgetting the verbs and the accents.
