In particular, the relation between affectedness and a transitive encoding is widely present in the literatura since Fillmore (1968) and Dowty (1991). Likewise, a correlation has been established between a greater or lesser degree of affectedness and a higher or lower degree of transitivity, as can be seen in the words of Hopper & Thompson (1980: 252): ‘The degree to which an action is transferred to a patient is a function of how completely this patient is affected.’6 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Pineda, Anna, 2022http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/AfectacióRetòricaLingüísticaAffectednessRhetoricLinguisticsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookParthttps://doi.org/10.18716/omp.3.c53info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
