Abstract:

This book presents an enlightening collection of papers contributing
to theoretical discussions across many topics within the study of
Romance Languages and Linguistics. The work originates from the 29th
Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages held in 1999 at the
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, although only a small subpart of the
proceedings papers are included in this volume. The selected papers
have been reworked for the current publication.
