Meeting Description:

The effects of the substratum languages spoken by the indigenous populations
of the Romanized territories (e.g. the Gaulish substratum of French) and of
the adstratum languages with which the newly coined Romance languages came
into contact (e.g. Old (Church) Slavonic viz. Romanian) on the morphosyntactic
development of the Romance languages have not been explored in a systematic
fashion to date. The workshop intends to bring together researchers interested
in the early morphosyntactic history of the Romance language, and aims at
answering questions / raising issues like the following: (i) while it is a
well-known fact that the phonology and lexical stock of the Romance languages
were affected by substratum languages and by early contact, the degree to
which the grammar of the early Romance languages was influenced is still
largely obscure; (ii) what are the phenomena / linguistic structures which
have been affected by early contact?; (iii) are we dealing with
deep/macroparametric effects or with superficial/microparametric phenomena?;
(iv) are there situations of parametric overlapping/convergence?; and (v) what
is the relevance of areal (Sprachbund) features in the early morphosyntactic
development of the Romance languages?
