Description
Book Synopsis
This volume gathers a thematic selection of scientific contributions presented at the 17th Cambridge Italian Dialect Syntax-Morphology Meeting (Zurich, 11-13 September 2023). The chapters (seventeen in all) address linguistic phenomena at the intersection of syntax, morphology and pragmatics and apply formal analyses on both northern and central-southern Italo-Romance varieties.
A wide amount of data is specifically provided for Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige and Istria in the North and for Campania, Calabria and Puglia (including Salento) in the South. Most chapters offer newly discovered information from first-hand fieldwork or diachronic investigations. As for the problems examined, the authors focus on aspects such as argument structure, interrogatives, the behaviour of clitics, the structure of the noun phrase and topics of simple sentence syntax.
Through close analyses of issues related to these (and other) aspects, the book significantly enriches our knowledge of Italo-Romance varieties. Thanks to its indexes, it also provides a useful up-to-date tool for scholars in the field.
