Abstract:

This volume offers a range of synchronic and diachronic case studies in
comparative Germanic and Romance morphosyntax. These two language families,
spoken by over a billion people today, have played a central role in
linguistic research, but many significant questions remain about the
relationship between them. Following an introduction that sets out the
methodological, empirical, and theoretical background to the book, the volume
is divided into three parts that deal with the morphosyntax of subjects and
the inflectional layer; inversion, discourse pragmatics, and the left
periphery; and continuity and variation beyond the clause. The contributors
adopt a diverse range of approaches, making use of the latest digitized
corpora and presenting a mixture of well-known and under-studied data from
standard and non-standard Germanic and Romance languages. Many of the chapters
challenge received wisdom about the relationship between these two important
language families. The volume will be an indispensable resource for
researchers and students in the fields of Germanic and Romance linguistics,
historical and comparative linguistics, and morphosyntax.
