Abstract:

Part of the set: Montreuil, Jean-Pierre Y. and Chiyo Nishida (eds.), NewPerspectives on Romance Linguistics: Vol. I: Morphology, Syntax,Semantics, and Pragmatics; Vol. II: Phonetics, Phonology and Dialectology.2 Vols. set. Selected papers from the 35th Linguistic Symposium onRomance Languages (LSRL), Austin, Texas, February 2005.

This is the first of two volumes emanating from the Linguistic Symposium onRomance Languages held at the University of Texas at Austin in February2005. It features the keynote address delivered by Denis Bouchard onexaptation and linguistic explanation, as well as seventeen contributions byemerging and internationally recognized scholars of Spanish, French, Italian,as well as Rumanian. While the emphasis bears on formal analyses, thecoverage is remarkably broad, as topics range from morphology, syntax,semantics, pragmatics and language acquisition. Each article seeks torepresent a new perspective on these topics and a variety of frameworks andconcepts are exploited: distributive morphology, entailment theory,grammaticalization, information structure, left-periphery, polarity lattice,spatial individuation, thematic hierarchy, etc. This volume will challengeanyone interested in current issues in theoretical Romance Linguistics.
