Abstract:

This volume presents sixteen new articles on the acquisition of Romance 
languages by both well-established researchers and vital new contributors to the 
field.  Under a generative umbrella, the articles in this collection investigate the 
acquisition of French, Romanian, Spanish, Catalan, Italian and Portuguese 
across different contexts including first language acquisition, bilingual 
acquisition, specifically impaired first language acquisition, child L2 acquisition, 
second language acquisition, as well as first language attrition. This volume 
advances our understanding of how languages are acquired and how the study 
of Romance languages contributes to clarifying challenging open questions on 
the acquisition of key functional categories and other related phenomena. In 
particular, the articles included assess complexity as a relevant factor shaping 
children's acquisition of syntactic and phonological structures, they refine 
crucial theoretical constructs such as parameter setting and language transfer, 
and propose language change as another crucial factor affecting the process of 
language acquisition and attrition.
