/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p>Even though Catalan and Spanish have
been the focus of much theoretical and empirical research within the
generative framework, most attention has been paid to specific
phenomena (clitics, doubling, verb movement, subjunctive, agreement,
differential object marking, etc.) or specific cross-linguistic
contrasts (English-Spanish, French-Spanish, Italian-Spanish,
Catalan-Spanish, etc.). These and other factors made it difficult to
construct comprehensive dialectal route-maps of these languages. Even
in recent large-scale descriptive surveys (cf. Bosque & Demonte 1999,
RAE-ASALE 2009, 2011, Solà et al. 2002), the role of dialectal
varieties of Catalan and Spanish has not been at the forefront of
formal studies.<br /><br />As is well-known, the interest in finding
out what the relevant varieties of Catalan and Spanish are has
typically focused on the domains of lexicology, morphology, and
phonology, where much descriptive work has been done since the late
19th and early 20th centuries. In the domain of syntax, however,
little work can be found, a singularity that is reflected in the
availability of few major studies of variation of Catalan and Spanish
dialects (cf. Kany 1945, Veny 1978). This situation is unexpected,
given the recent meticulous work on syntactic variation in other
Romance languages (most notably, Italian; cf. D’Alessandro et al.
2010 and references therein).<br /><br />Ever since the fifties,
syntactic theory has developed and put in practice methods and tools
to complement previous structuralist comparative work (atlases,
corpora, etc.), making it possible to approach dialectal variation in
a comprehensive and fine-grained fashion. The methods and tools have
the generative framework as a source (Chomsky 1965, 1981, and
subsequent work), and this source has proved useful in characterizing
several languages and establishing points of uniformity (principles /
universals) and points of variation (i.e., parameters). Given the
availability of these tools and the ever-present interest in studying
the variation/uniformity tension, there is no reason why studies on
syntactic variation should not become an important focus of research.
This has been complemented and backed up with a growing interest and
concern in the area of generative grammar, including more careful and
detailed comparative studies, paying much attention to language
internal (dialectal) variation. Both viewpoints can be said to
naturally stem from the Principles & Parameters framework of the early
eighties, which gave rise to the key notion of ‘parameter,’ which
has been investigated from both MACRO and MICRO perspectives (Baker
1996, 2001, 2008, Biberauer 2008, Biberauer et al. 2010, Cinque &
Kayne 2005, Kayne 2000, 2005, among many others).<br /><br />The
present workshop aims at stimulating the study of the syntactic
phenomena of Catalan and Spanish that show variation, hoping that it
will help set the stage for subsequent investigations on the syntactic
variation of these languages, deepen its relationship with other
Romance cognates, and improve our understanding of the faculty of
language.<br /><br /><br />References:<br />Baker, M. C. 1996. The
