Abstract
© 2025, Central University Marta Abreu de las Villas. All rights reserved.Introduction: The general objective is to describe the semantic-discursive conditions that enable alternations between prepositional phrases headed by con and morphosyntactic constructions such as adverbialized adjectives in-mente, past participles, and gerunds. Methods: This research follows a dual approach: descriptive-empirical and theoretical-analytical. It is framed within the qualitative paradigm, with an emphasis on the analytical description and interpretation of data. Results: The alternations are explained by the requirement of nominal selection, favoring the +abstract feature of the lexical root of nouns accompanying SP-con, the pattern related to the nominal semantics of prepositional terms, and the modalizing function shared by prepositional phrases and their morphological correlates. Conclusions: Prepositional phrases headed by con can alternate with morphological correlates, such as-mente adverbs, participles, and gerunds, while maintaining implicit semantic congruence. This alternation contributes to a meaning that falls within the scope of modality.
