Abstract:

Twenty-one articles from the 31st LSRL investigate cutting-edge issues
and interfaces across phonology, pragmatics, sociolinguistics,
semantics, and syntax in multiple dialects of such Romance languages
as Catalan, French, Creole French, and Spanish, both old and
modern. Research in Romance phonology moves from the quantitative and
synchronic to cover issues of diachrony and Optimality theory. Work
within pragmatics and sociolinguistics also explores the
synchronic/diachronic link while topicalizing such issues as change of
non-pro-drop Swiss French toward pro-drop status, scalar implicatures,
speech acts, word order, and simplification in contexts of language
contact. Finally, debates in linguistic theory are resumed in the work
on syntax and semantics within both a Minimalist perspective and an
Optimality framework. How do Catalan and French children acquire AGR
and TNS? Can Basque Spanish be compared to topic-oriented Chinese? If
Spanish preverbal subjects occur in an A-position, can Spanish no
longer be compared to Greek?
