Abstract:
This collection of twenty articles, selected from the 33rd annual
Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages held at Indiana University in
2003, presents current theoretical approaches to a variety of issues in
Romance linguistics. Invited speakers Luigi Burzio and José Ignacio Hualde
contribute papers on the paradigmatics and syntagmatics of Italian verbal
inflection and comparative/diachronic Romance intonation, respectively. The
other papers, whose authors include both well-known researchers and younger
scholars, represent such areas as French syntax (both synchronic and
diachronic), second language acquisition (Spanish & English), Spanish
intonation, phonology, syntax, and semantics, Italian semantics, Romanian
morphology and syntax, Catalan phonology and morphology, and Galician
phonology (two papers). The volume is rounded out by three explicitly
comparative studies, one on proto-Romance phonology, one on microvariation
in Romance syntax, and a third addressing syntactic microvariation among
varieties of French and French-based creoles. Frameworks represented
include Optimality Theory, Minimalism, and Construction Grammar.
