Abstract:
Researchers in Romance languages will find this book a stimulating and
broad-ranging treatment of the development of grammar, demonstrating
the relevance of markedness for both linguistic theory and language
teaching. A substantial and original account of a unique body of data,
across first and second language acquisition, creolization and
historical linguistics and across a wide range of languages and
contact varieties, demonstrates a new impetus and predictive force for
markedness theory.
