The Phonology of Romanian
This book provides the first systematic descriptive analysis of the phonological system of Romanian, one of the less studied Romance languages, from the perspective of recent phonological theory. The author offers an account of some of the major phonological processes of modern standard Romanian, set in the framework of Optimality Theory and Correspondence Theory. The book begins with an overview of Romanian phonology - segment inventory, phonotactics, inflectional and derivational morphology. The main part of the study focuses on processes involving vocalic segments: glide-vowel and diphthong-vowel alternations, vowel harmony, palatalization. The major issues addressed include feature theor...

From Latin to Romance
This book examines grammatical changes during the transition from Latin to the Romance languages and the factors proposed to explain them. It challenges orthodoxy, presents new perspectives on language change, structure, and variation, and will appeal equally to Romance linguists, Latinists, philologists, and historical linguists of all persuasions.
Interactive Morphonology
First published in 1991. The existence of morphonology had been the subject of intense debate in twentieth-century linguistic theory. Attempts to identify putatively morphonological phenomena had often foundered on the widespread assumption of a rigid dichotomy between synchronic morphological structures and the phonetic processes which historically shared them. With the difficulties of establishing any role for morphonology clearly identified, the author introduces a comparative and historical survey of the morphologization of metaphony in Italian dialects. On the basis of this the existence is argued of authentic synchronic ‘morphonological’ interaction between morphological structures...
Die einzelnen romanischen Sprachen und Sprachgebiete von der Renaissance bis zur Gegenwart: Rumänisch, Dalmatisch / Istroromanisch, Friaulisch, Ladinisch, Bündnerromanisch
Das LRL (8 Bände mit Halbbänden, 1988‐2005) beschreibt zum ersten Mal in einem einzigen, einheitlich konzipierten Werk ausführlich alle romanischen Sprachen, ihre Dialekte und die von ihnen abgeleiteten Kreolsprachen in der Gesamtheit ihrer Aspekte: Darstellung des Sprachsystems in Gegenwart und Geschichte, Funktionieren des Systems in den Texten und in der Gesellschaft. Hinzu kommen die historisch-vergleichenden, die kontrastiven und die sprachtypologischen, also einzelsprachenübergreifenden Beschreibungen, die für das Verständnis des Faches Romanistik, aber auch für die Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft und die Anthropologie und die Ethnologie von besonderer Bedeutung sind. Ähnlich fachübergreifende Bedeutung haben die Bände I,1 und I,2 mit der Darstellung vergangener und heutiger sprachwissenschaftlicher Methoden und der Vorstellung der verschiedenen Bereiche einer Sprache im allgemeinen. Das LRL bietet für jeden einzelnen Bereich eine erste inhaltliche terminologische und bibliographische Orientierung und weist zugleich auf mögliche Themen für weitere Forschungen (insbesondere im jeweiligen Schlußkapitel "Desiderata") hin.
