Abstract:

This book opens with Angelika Kratzer and Luigi Rizzi talking about
contemporary issues, such as non-recursiveness of focus and the semantics of
topics. The chapters climb down the spine from the left periphery to DP: the
value of subjunctive across the history of German, expressive expressions in
Brazilian Portuguese, left and right dislocation and the speaker’s perspective
in Italian, Brazilian double subjects and left dislocated topic, long versus
short wh-movement in Brazilian Portuguese and Quebec French, low adverbs and
the raising of the verb in Brazilian Portuguese, ellipsis and null objects in
Brazilian and European Portuguese, and bare singulars in Brazilian Portuguese.
The chapters propose original accounts for language variation and historical
changes, most of them focusing on Brazilian Portuguese, a challenge to syntax
and semantics. Thus, the volume contributes to Brazilian and Portuguese
Linguistics, as well as to general and contemporary research on syntax and
semantics of natural languages.
