Abstract:

This monograph investigates the syntax of the finite verb in Mòcheno, a
minority language spoken in a German speech island of Northern Italy. Basing
her study on detailed new data collected during extensive fieldwork, and
focusing on finite verb movement; on multiple access to the left periphery; on
pro licensing and on the distribution of OV/VO word orders, the author refutes
the traditional view that the syntactic variation found in Mòcheno is due to
the presence of two competing grammars as a consequence of contact with
Romance varieties and accounts for the peculiarities of Mòcheno syntax within
a theory couched in the framework of Generative Grammar. This book contributes
to our understanding of the verb-second phenomenon and sheds new light on the
asymmetries between Old Romance and Germanic verb-second languages. A useful
tool for all linguists working on both theoretical and comparative syntax and
to anyone interested in language variation, dialectology and typology.

Linguistic Field(s): Syntax
