This paper has examined the position of pronominal clitics in the PRESEEA corpus of Granada, focusing only on non-argumental unstressed pronouns. After a statistical analysis, we were able to verify that there are very marked differences between the constructions with morphemes belonging to pronominal verbs, with the middle-voice se and, finally, with the passive and impersonal se, since only the first group shows variation.
Once the target group was studied, we were able to verify that proclitic frequency is significantly higher than that of postposition. Our data suggest that the placement of clitics depends on linguistic variables, but also on a social factor, since the percentages of anteposition increase inversely with age.
Finally, the factors studied seem to point to a possible continuum in synchronic grammaticalization, ranging from argumental unstressed pronouns (with greater variation), through aspectual pronouns (with similar percentages, but with less variation) to middle, passive and impersonal structures (where in oral texts, proclitics almost always appear).
