Pseudo-coordination, that is, sequences of a least two verbs of the form <V1 + <em>and</em> + V2> raise a number of problems that stem from the fact that they share properties with a wide range of different syntactic phenomena. As regards Sp. <V1 + <em>and</em> + V2> schema, in this paper I address the discussion of whether it qualifies as a verbal periphrasis or not. A number of arguments are provided that show that the relation between V1 and V2 is not that of auxiliarization. Likewise, it is argued that its meaning is not aspectual. Instead, a stance is taken in favour of the analysis that argue that it is discourse related. In addition to this, it is shown that Sp. pseudo-coordinatives are subject to a high variation. Namely, V1 verbs may be divided into two big classes: go-class verbs, highly grammaticalized and, take-class verbs, less grammaticalized and with an agentive meaning. In addition to this, <em>va y</em> lit. goes and functions as an adverb, similarly to <em>puede que</em> lit. can that, ‘maybe’.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Borealis – An International Journal of Hispanic Linguistics}, author={Bravo, Ana}, year={2020}, month={May}, pages={125–180} }
