This workshop is part of the Annual Conference of the Department of
Linguistics of the University of Bucharest. It is devoted to Romanian
as seen from a typological and Romance-comparative perspective, with
particular attention to the grammatical features that define its place
within the Romance family and, more broadly, within the typological
landscape of the languages of the world. The workshop aims to bring
together formal, typological, comparative, dialectal, and diachronic
approaches to Romanian grammar, encouraging discussions on how
Romanian converges with and diverges from other Romance languages and
varieties.
Within the workshop, submissions are invited for 30-minute oral
presentations – 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for
discussion – dealing with Romanian grammar from a typological and
Romance-comparative perspective. Topics may address any area of
Romanian and Romance syntax, morphology, morphosyntax, and their
interfaces, including but not limited to: nominal structure, the
article system, gender and number marking, agreement, case, pronominal
systems, possession, word order, clausal architecture, subject
expression and null subjects, negation, complementation,
subordination, coordination and comitative structures, ditransitive
constructions, passive and causative constructions, reflexive and
reciprocal marking, copular, auxiliary and semi-auxiliary verbs,
interrogative structures, comparative constructions, diminutives,
politeness systems, etc., and the syntax–semantics and
syntax–morphology interfaces.
A typological and/or Romance-comparative perspective is strongly
encouraged. Priority will be given to proposals that investigate
Romanian in relation to other Romance languages or varieties,
including dialectal and historical varieties, as well as to papers
that explore the typological profile of Romanian, the historical
development of relevant grammatical features, or the theoretical
implications of Romanian data for Romance linguistics and linguistic
typology.
The workshop builds on a long-standing tradition of syntax-oriented
meetings on linguistic variation organized in Bucharest within the
Annual Conference of the Department of Linguistics. It follows a
series of workshops devoted to synchronic and diachronic variation,
including Diachronic Variation in the Syntax of Romanian (2012),
Current Issues in Linguistic Variation (2014), Syntactic Variation in
Romance (2018), and the Third Bucharest Workshop on Formal Approaches
to Romance Microvariation (2019). In this context, Romanian in the
Romance Typological Landscape aims to further develop the dialogue
between formal syntax, Romance comparative linguistics, dialectology,
and historical syntax.
