Abstract:

Recent trends in syntax and morphology have shown the great importance of
doing research on variation in closely related languages. This book centers on
the study of the morphology and syntax of the two major Romance Languages
spoken in Latin America from this perspective. The works presented here either
compare Brazilian Portuguese with European Portuguese or compare Latin
American Spanish and Peninsular Spanish, or simply compare Portuguese and its
varieties with Spanish and its varieties. The chapters advance on a great
variety of theoretical questions related to coordination, clitics ,
hyper-raising, infinitives, null objects, null subjects, hyper-raising,
passives, quantifiers, pseudo-clefts, questions and distributed morphology.
Finally, this book provides new empirical findings and enriches the
descriptions made about Portuguese and Spanish Spoken in the Americas by
providing new generalizations, new data and new statistical evidence that help
better understand the nature of such variation. The studies contained in this
book show a vast array of new phenomena in these young varieties, offering
empirical and theoretical windows to language variation and change.
