Abstract:

This volume offers a wide-range of case studies on variation and change in the
sub-family of the Romance languages that includes French and Occitan:
Gallo-Romance. Both standard and non-standard Gallo-Romance data can be of
enormous value to studies of morphosyntactic variation and change, yet, as the
volume demonstrates, non-standard and comparative Gallo-Romance data have
often been lacking in both synchronic and diachronic studies. Following an
introduction that sets out the conceptual background, the volume is divided
into three parts whose chapters explore a variety of topics in the domains of
sentence structure, the verb complex, and word structure. The empirical
foundation of the volume is exceptionally rich, drawing on standard and
non-standard data from French, Occitan, Francoprovençal, Picard, Wallon, and
Norman. This diversity is also reflected in the theoretical and conceptual
approaches adopted, which span traditional philology, sociolinguistics, formal
morphological and syntactic theory, semantics, and discourse-pragmatics. The
volume will thus be an indispensable tool for researchers and students in
French and (Gallo-) Romance linguistics as well as for readers interested in
grammatical theory, sociolinguistics, and historical linguistics.
