\"El estatus sintáctico-semántico del caso dativo con verbos estativos latinos\"

The aim of this article is to determine the syntatic-semantic nature of the dative appearing in some constructions of three Latin verbs ('maneo', 'permaneo' and 'remaneo') which share —among others— the semantic notion of “permanence”.After presenting the data provided by the dictionaries and a corpus study, I propose different semantic and complementation structures for the verbs analysed. A more detailed examination of the structures in which a dative constituent appears, allows us to understand that the verbal notion of these constructions is existential in nature and that the dative can be considered an argument. Accordingly, I propose a predicate frame of the construction as well as a possible process for the setting of this construction.
