Abstract:

This book offers a comparative perspective on the structural and interpretive
properties of root-clause complementizers in Ibero-Romance. The driving
question the author seeks to answer is where the boundaries between syntax and
pragmatics lie in these languages. Contrary to most previous work on these
phenomena, the author argues in favor of a relatively strict distribution of
labor between the two components of grammar. The first part of the book is
devoted to root complementizers with a reportative interpretation. The second
part deals with root complementizers and commitment attribution. Finally, the
last part presents the results of empirical studies on the topic.
