Abstract:

This volume contains a selection of refereed and revised papers,
originally presented at the 30th Linguistic Symposium on Romance
Languages, focussing on the areas of phonology and language
variation. The papers address issues in phonology such as the
emergence of the unmarked, representational structure in phonology and
morphology, intonation in Spanish, and issues in variation including
dialectal differences, codeswitching, foreigner talk, and language
death. The papers in this volume include discussions of the major
Romance languages (Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish),
pidgins and creoles resulting from contact with Romance languages, and
relationships with languages from other families, such as English and
Dutch.
