This Cambridge history is the definitive guide to the comparative history of the Romance languages. Volume I is organized around the two key recurrent themes of persistence (structural inheritance and continuity from Latin) and innovation (structural change and loss in Romance).

This is the first typologically-oriented book-length treatment of morphomes, systematic morphological identities, usually within inflectional paradigms, that do not map onto syntactic or semantic natural classes. In the first half of the book, Borja Herce outlines the theoretical and empirical challenges associated with the identification and definition of morphomes, and surveys their links with related notions such as syncretism, homophony, segmentation, and economy, among othe...
From Latin through the Romance languages, which types of past participle survived? Which older, "irregular" types disappeared and which older, "regular" types proliferated? Which new types of past participles emerged, which proved popular in standard Romance languages, and which exist in a wide range of dialects? The author explores reasons for the expansion or contraction of each type, in each area.
Sprechen und Hören sind zwei Seiten derselben kommunikativen Medaille. Dennoch wurde die Beschreibung der Sprachproduktion durch die Linguistik empirisch und theoretisch immer und nicht selten einseitig bevorzugt. Gerade in der Varietätenlinguistik ist die Ausblendung der Sprachwahrnehmung gravierend. Dieser Band möchte daher in programmatischer Absicht dazu beitragen, die existierenden, meist dialektologischen Ansätze zu einer umfassenden perzeptiven Varietätenlinguistik auszubauen. Diese soll es ermöglichen, die diasystematischen Markierungen einzelner Varianten und die darauf basierende Konstruktion von Varietäten in der konkreten Wahrnehmung authentischer Sprachproduktion durch die Sprecher selbst zu fundieren und abzusichern. Die Beiträge enthalten eine Vielzahl von Einzelstudien zum Italienischen, Französischen, Spanischen und Portugiesischen.

This book contains a peer-reviewed selection of papers presented at the 46th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL 46) that took place in April 2016 at Stony Brook University (SUNY), New York. The most current research and debates on bilingualism, historical linguistics, morphology, phonology, semantics, sociolinguistics, and syntax can be found in its pages. This collection will be of interest to Romance linguists and general linguists as well.

This book presents a thorough investigation of the main diachronic changes that have taken place in the palatal sounds of the Romance languages, as well as their current patterns of synchronic variation. André Zampaulo draws on extensive data not only from diachronic sources, but also from a range of current phonetic, phonological, and dialectal studies to motivate a formal, constraint-based account of palatal sound change. The analysis takes into account the role of phonetic information in the shaping of phonological patterns, approaching sound change from its inception during the speaker-listener interaction and formalizing it as the difference in constraint ranking between the grammar of the speaker and that of the listener-turned-speaker. The volume offers insights into how and why similar types of change may take place in different varieties and/or the same language at different times, and will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in historical linguistics, phonetics and phonology, Romance linguistics, and dialectology more broadly.
