Resumen

The aim of this paper is to defend the responsability of the lexical component regarding the presence (or absence) of the pronoun in anticausative constructions. This argument is supported by examples that prove that the arguments concerning this phenomenon provided by semantics and eventual structure, which are the most common ones in the bibliography, are not valid for all the verbs that participate in that syntactic structure. The author shows that syntax and morphology do not seem to account for these facts either and instead, puts forward the theory that this lack of uniformity in the appearance of pronouns must be found in linguistic phenomena that arose during the evolution of the language.
