Theoretical Analyses In Romance Linguistics: Selected Papers From The Linguistic Symposium On Romance Languages Xix, Ohio State University, April 21-23, 1989 (current Issues In Linguistic Theory)

This nineteenth edition of LSRL proceedings contains a selection of papers on variety of Romance idioms and includes current topics in established areas of study. The phonology papers focus mostly on syllabic and higher-level prosodic structure. The morphology section deals primarily with compounding. The syntax contributions principally treat infinitival clauses, extraction phenomena, and binding. While synchronic data serve as the point of departure in most of the studies, historical perspectives are also considered in each major section. Included in the volume are two invited contributions, by Violeta Demonte (on linking and case with prepositional verbs) and Shana Poplack (on variation in the form and function of the subjunctive in Canadian French). Further contributions by Violeta Demonte, Shana Poplack, E. Nikiema, M. Carreira, S. Weinberger and N. Lefkowitz, H. Jacobs, M. Mazzola, J.I. Hualde, J.-P. Montreuil, R. Nunez-Cedeno, J.C. Clements, W. Zwanenburg, M.D. Picone, P. Barbaud, S. Varela, A. Calabrese, M.A. Jones, J. Lema and M.L. Rivero, P. Kempchinsky, L. Zaring, J. Herschensohn, K. Zagona, L. Burzio, E. Vallduvi, J. Joseph. The Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages brought together linguistics from various countries. This volume reflects the diversity of their research interests and features sections on phonology, morphology and syntax and semantics.
