Abstract:

This collected volume combines firmly-grounded theoretical
perspectives with historical empirical data from different West
Iberian languages (Portuguese, Galician, Asturleonese and Spanish) to
deepen our understanding of linguistic divergence in typologically
related languages.
It is divided into four sections: nominal, verbal and clausal domains,
negation and polarity. While varied in their theoretical approach,
contributions all serve to examine different aspects of the
overarching issue of divergence and how current theoretical frameworks
help us understand what factors can account for the actuation changes
in West Iberian languages.
The book closes with a reflection on various findings about
divergence(s), underscoring the importance of incorporating West
Iberian languages in revisiting long-standing issues and broadening
the empirical evidence available for ongoing research on linguistic
theories of language change.
