Abstract:

This volume offers an up-to-date survey of linguistic phenomena at the
interfaces between syntax and prosody, information structure and discourse –
with a special focus on Germanic and Romance – and their role in language
change. The contributions, set within the generative framework, discuss
original data and provide new insights into the diachronic development of
long-burning issues such as negation, word order, quantifiers, null subjects,
aspectuality, the structure of the left periphery, and extraposition. 

The first part of the volume explores interface phenomena at the
intrasentential level, in which only clause-internal factors seem to play a
significant role in determining diachronic change. The second part examines
developments at the intersentential level involving a rearrangement of
categories between at least two clausal domains.

The book will be of interest for scholars and students interested in
generative accounts of language change phenomena at the interfaces, as well as
for theoretical linguists in general.
