Abstract:
The volume brings together fifteen papers focusing on the morphosyntax of
different Romance varieties. It is based on papers presented at the workshop
bearing the same title held at the University of Bucharest in November 2015
and is dedicated to Professor Martin Maiden of the University of Oxford in
honour of his 60th birthday. The contributions tackle different theoretical
issues concerning current linguistic theory (relevant both for comparative and
diachronic approaches), including parameters, features and their hierarchical
organization, word order changes, the level of verb movement in different
varieties, inflected infinitives, clitic placement and clitic doubling,
ethical datives, and personal subject pronouns, among others.
As such, the volume represents diverse theoretical approaches to addressing a
number of key morphological and syntactic issues in the morphosyntactic
development of the Romance languages, drawing on modern research methods and
current linguistic theory, with a clear preference for parametric syntax. The
most significant areas of grammar are well-represented here.
The volume will appeal to advanced graduate and postgraduate students in
diachronic linguistics, theoretical linguistics, and Romance linguistics, as
well as researchers in the fields of historical and typological linguistics,
morphosyntactic theory, and the history of the Romance languages.
