Resum

Traditional linguistic atlases are not designed to collect data about syntactic variation. Nonetheless, it is possible to obtain from them information about particular syntactic issues, as I exemplify with the Atles Lingüístic del Domini Català. This atlas offers evidence of the survival of the perfect auxiliary ésser ‘to be’ in some current Catalan varieties in the face of general replacement by haver ‘to have’. These examples are discussed in the context of the changes that Catalan has undergone since the Middle Ages. We see that the residual presence of ésser varies from region to region and reflects different processes. However, in order to be precise it will be necessary to undertake a further data collection specifically focused on auxiliary selection.
