Abstract:

Part of the set: Montreuil, Jean-Pierre Y. and Chiyo Nishida (eds.), New
Perspectives on Romance Linguistics: Vol. I: Morphology, Syntax, Semantics,
and Pragmatics; Vol. II: Phonetics, Phonology and Dialectology. 2 Vols.
set. Selected papers from the 35th Linguistic Symposium on Romance
Languages (LSRL), Austin, Texas, February 2005. 

This is the second of two volumes emanating from the Linguistic Symposium
on Romance Languages held at the University of Texas at Austin in February
2005. It features the keynote addresses delivered by Prof. Jacques Durand
on the Phonology of Contemporary French Project and Prof. John Charles
Smith on skeuomorphy and refunctionalization. It also includes eleven
contributions by reputed scholars on topics ranging from phonetics,
phonology, morphophonology, dialectology, sociolinguistics and language
variation. Formal phonology papers favor the model of Optimality Theory,
while phonetic measurements serve as the basis for sociolinguistic and
dialectometric studies. Many of these studies emphasize new comparative,
typological approaches to Romance data (including many non-standard
varieties of French, Italian and Spanish). This volume will be of interest
to all Romance linguists.
