[Lingtyp] finiteness

[Bernat Bardagil Mas]

Dear Nigel,

If it's non-Romance stuff you're interested in, I actually co-authored a partial follow-up to that paper that looks at finiteness in the Jê language family, spoken in Brazil. If that's not too far off from Romance stuff, here it is. The introduction and discussion will give you some references to typological works, too.

Bernat

Thanks, Bernat. That one I had read and enjoyed; it's more the non-Romance typological stuff I'd like pointers to.

Dear Nigel,

You could check out Groothuis 2022 for a non-binary view of finiteness in some Romance varieties:

Groothuis, Kim. 2022. “On the Relation between Finiteness and Clause Size : Evidence from Romanian and Southern Italo‐Romance Irrealis Clauses.” TRANSACTIONS OF THE PHILOLOGICAL SOCIETY 120 (1): 32–68. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-968x.12226 [doi.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-968x.12226__;!!PDiH4ENfjr2_Jw!HP0HqwlcJ9rcqe5nUAKp3rXPPmGlr_yhyiyy8c89AImW7Gdgz7hHqm6ygi9Byxfepd0BQ7nj2mhm8XjbywsN-cHg_CsxSIyqWKcLDg$>.

Dear All,
I'm preparing some lectures on the morphosyntax of non-finite forms in Romance. Any suggestions for recent literature on the general question of the typology of the finite/non-finite distinction would be welcome. I found John Lowe's (2019) article very helpful: The syntax and semantics of nonfinite forms. Annual Review of Linguistics 5, 309-328. But there must be more out there I haven't caught up with.
Best
Nigel
