Main description:
This volume presents recent theoretical research on Romance languages, selected from papers presented at the 25th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages. It includes studies of individual Romance languages as well as comparative studies 2; both within the Romance family and with non-Romance languages (Basque, Bulgarian, Germanic and Quechua). Papers in phonetics and phonology treat stress, syllable structure, s-weakening, and the declination effect. Morphological topics include class-marker suppression and gender agreement and suppletion. Topics in syntactic theory include clitics, participial and adjectival agreement, the syntax of tense, mood, negation, adjectival predication, Tough-constructions, quantification and null objects.
Table of contents:
- Participial clauses in Bulgarian, Italian and Spanish
- Edge effects and unstressed syllables in Spanish
- The ambiguity of the Italian present perfect
- The distribution of à and de in tough constructions in French
- Prominence vs. Rhythm
- On the configurational nature of adjectival modification
- On the configurations and reference
- The scope of universal quantifiers in Spanish interrogatives
- The syntax and morphology of class marker suppression in Spanish
- The prosodic environment of S-Weakening in Argentinian Spanish
- Pefective auxiliaries, possession and existence in Romance
- Gender agreement and suppletion in French
- Two issues in null objects in Basque Spanish
- Attributive and predicative adjective agreement in Germanic and Romance & pro identification
- Clitic-doubled dative 'subjects' in Spanish
- The absence or presence of a declination effect on the descent of F0 peaks? Evidence from Mexican Spanish
- Word order, predication and agreement in DPs in Spanish, Southern Quechua and southern andean bilingual Spanish
- Clitic Omission and participle agreement in Italian child language
- French syllable structure
- Two types of unaccusatives
- An expletive negation which is not so redundant
- Exceptionality in optimality theory and final consonants in French
- The nature of the subjunctive and the fromal grammar of oviation
- Subjunctive of neagation and [Neg(ative)] complementizers
- Index of authors
- Index of terms & concepts
- Index of languages & Language families
