This volume contains a selection of refereed and revised papers, originally presented at the 30th Linguistic Symposium on RomanceLanguages, representing the areas of syntax, semantics, their interfaces, and second language acquisition. The topics addressed include movement (both wh- and head-movement), control, issues of second language acquisition related to the Determiner Phrase, the effect of word order and syntactic simplification in second language acquisition, adverbials, syntactic constraints on access to lexical structure, a semantic characterization of the subjunctive in Spanish, and impersonal constructions and impersonal reflexive pronouns. The papers in this volume not only discuss issues related to most of the major Romance languages (French, Italian, Portuguese, Rumanian andSpanish) and a Portuguese Creole, but also include comparisons with languages from other families (Marathi, Bulgarian, Polish andSlovenian). This collection of papers illustrates the richness in the field of Romance linguistics and the value of cross-linguistic research and multi-modular approaches.Contributions by: Anne AbeillC) & DaniC(le Godard; Bruce Anderson;Cedric Boeckx; Cedric Boeckx, Penka Stateva & Arthur Stepanov;J.
