The annual Going Romance conference is the major European discussion forum
for theoretically relevant research on Romance languages where current
ideas about language in general and about Romance languages in particular
are tested. Starting with the thirteenth conference held in 1999, volumes
with selected papers of the conferences are published under the title
Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory, This is the fifth such volume,
containing a selection of papers that have been presented at the
seventeenth Going Romance conference, held at the Radboud University
Nijmegen (The Netherlands) from 20–22 November 2003. The three-day program
included a workshop on 'Diachronic Phonology.' The present volume contains
a broad range of articles dealing not only with syntax and phonology, but
also with morphology, semantics and acquisition of the Romance languages.
