Abstract:

This book explores language variation and change from the perspective of
generative syntax, based on a case study of relative clauses in contemporary
European Portuguese and earlier stages of Portuguese. Adriana Cardoso offers a
comparative account of three linguistic phenomena in the synchrony and
diachrony of Portuguese-remnant-internal relativization, extraposition of
restrictive relative clauses, and appositive relativization-and shows that the
changes affecting these structures conspired to reduce the patterns of nominal
discontinuity available in the language. Adopting a cross-linguistic
perspective, she additionally shows that this series of changes transformed
Portuguese from a 'Germanic-like' language, with a wide range of phrasal
discontinuities, to a 'non-Germanic type', with more restricted patterns of
discontinuity. The volume will be of particular interest to scholars working
on Portuguese syntax, but also to Romance linguists and all those interested
in historical and comparative syntax more widely.
