古西班牙语和现代西班牙语的数据比较提供的证据表明，语法化形式的还原变化可能不仅表现为一个历时的过程，但也作为正式和非正式寄存器之间的共时差异。在西班牙语的助动词+动名词序列中，随着时间的推移，随着一系列还原性变化的一部分，随着结构频率的增加，附着体的攀爬频率也在增加。在计算构式频率时，助动词+动名词序列的标记频率和它们相对于单独动名词的频率都很重要。现今的对话和书面资料之间的差异表明，附着位置是文体分层。寄存器的clitic攀登的差异被发现与建设频率，以及，这表明频率效应的操作上更一般的共时性水平，以及特定的文本的水平。这些文本层面的频率效应可能与平行结构的“物以类聚”效应有关。
A comparison of Old Spanish and present-day Spanish data provides evidence that reductive change in grammaticizing forms may be manifested not only as a diachronic process but also as a synchronic difference between formal and informal registers. Clitic climbing frequencies in Spanish auxiliary + gerund sequences have increased diachronically as part of a series of reductive changes and in tandem with construction frequency increases. In calculating construction frequency, both the token frequency of auxiliary + gerund sequences and their frequency relative to lone-standing gerunds turn out to be important. Differences between present-day conversational and written data show that clitic position is stylistically stratified. Register differences in clitic climbing are found to be linked to construction frequency as well, suggesting that frequency effects operate on a more general synchronic level as well as on the level of particular texts. These text-level frequency effects may be related to parallel structure “birds of a feather” effects.
