Abstract:

Portuguese is the second most spoken Romance language in the world,
and due to recent interest in comparative syntax, the literature on
its syntax has increased exponentially, resulting in exciting
discoveries of a range of aspects that have hitherto been overlooked.
This book provides a theoretically grounded overview of the major
syntactic properties of Portuguese, focusing on the differences
between European and Brazilian Portuguese. It shows from a theoretical
point of view how different syntactic properties are interconnected by
comparing and contrasting the variances between pronominal and
agreement systems, null subjects, null complements, and word order. It
also highlights how small differences in the specification of
syntactic properties may yield quite different dialects. It introduces
key theoretical points without technical jargon, making the content
accessible to specialist and non-specialists alike. It is essential
reading for both academic researchers and students of Portuguese
language, comparative syntax, Romance linguistics, and theoretical
syntax.
