Thanks to all! Aug 10, 2004

Thanks to all for your good comments. I feel closer to understanding what is happening now. I was pulled away from the discussion (work, such a pain) for a while, but will eventually try to look into this further. I'm interested to see if any published works comment on this specific issue.

Thanks,

-K

Etymology of nadie & nada Aug 18, 2004

Just shows you, language has it's own inherent logic after all, it's just our perceptions from the perspective of another language/culture:-)

Just shows you, language has it's own inherent logic after all, it's just our perceptions from the perspective of another language/culture:-)

Etymology:

From http://www.niusleter.com.ar/usleter/usleter8.html

NADIE: 1495, antes nadi, hacia 1140. Primitivamente se emple¨® en frases negativas como nadi no lo hicieron, donde procede del lat¨ªn HOMINES NATI NON FECERUNT 'personas nacidas no lo hicieron' = 'nadie lo hizo' (NATI es plural de NATUS 'nacido'); en combinaciones frecuentes como nadi ha venido se cambi¨® en naid ha venido, de ah¨ª naide y, reaccionando contra el vulgarismo, nadie. Nada, 1074, paralelamente procede de cosa nada, siglo X en lat¨ªn RES NATA 'cosa nacida' (empleada ya en lat¨ªn con el sentido de 'el asunto en cuesti¨®n'; de REM NATAM NON FECIT, nada no hizo 'no hizo el asunto', de donde 'no hizo nada', probablemente bajo el influjo del sentido de nadie).

DERIV. Nader¨ªa, fin del siglo XVI.
COMPUESTOS: Nonada, antiguo, 'nader¨ªa, cosa nula', siglo XV, anonadar, principios del XVII; anonadamiento.
