This volume brings together a selection of articles presented at Going
Romance 1999. The articles focus on current syntactic and semantic
issues in various Romance languages, including Catalan, French,
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and a number of Northern Italian
dialects. A large number of articles focus on negation, which was the
theme of the workshop at Going Romance 1999, but other topics
investigated include Wh- in situ, free relatives, exclamatives,
lexical decomposition and thematic structure, unaccusative inversion,
and temporal existential constructions. Most articles are comparative
in nature, relating the different syntactic and semantic properties of
both Romance and non-Romance languages to principles of Universal
Grammar. The theoretical frameworks adopted in the various articles
are diverse, ranging from the Principles and Parameters framework to
HPSG.
