From Verbal Periphrases to Complex Predicates
This volume, which can be considered as a follow-up publication to Pusch & Wesch (2003), contains ten studies on verbal periphrases in a wide array of Romance languages, both in a synchronic and in a historic perspective. Thus, this collective volume addresses the Romance verbal periphrastic system as a whole. The aim of the contributions is twofold: on the one hand, the authors intend to enrich the knowledge about the inventory of verbal periphrases of Romance languages, both in descriptive and analytical terms. On the other hand, the volume seeks to provide new insights for the study of the grammatical, pragmatic, and cognitive foundations of verbal periphrases, in order to enlarge our comprehension of their genesis, their evolution and their usage. Languages treated in the contributions include Catalan, (European) French, Friulian, (European) Portuguese, Romanian, (European) Spanish, and Catalan Sign Language (LSC).
Verb and Context
This volume approaches the interaction of evidentiality with some other related categories, such as modality and mirativity, from an innovative angle: its connection to informational configuration. The aim of this book is to analyze the impact of shared knowledge on TAME categories as well as to explore its reflection on different verb choices. It provides an innovative theoretical view as well as a robust typological, crosslinguistic perspective.
Categories, Constructions, and Change in English Syntax
A pioneering collection of new research that explores categories, constructions, and change in the syntax of the English language. The volume, with contributions by world-renowned scholars as well as some emerging scholars in the field, covers a wide variety of approaches to grammatical categories and categorial change, constructions and constructional change, and comparative and typological research. Each of the fourteen chapters, based on the analysis of authentic data, highlights the wealth and breadth of the study of English syntax (including morphosyntax), both theoretically and empirically, from Old English through to the present day. The result is a body of research which will add substantially to the current study of the syntax of the English language, by stimulating further research in the field.

Les fonts literàries de la novel·la
Al segon volum es presenten, de manera introductòria o preliminar, aspectes lingüístics de la novel·la catalana Curial e Güelfa, com ara les preferències lèxiques valencianes, els nombrosos italianismes (per influència sobretot de Boccaccio, però també del registre col·loquial) i alguna interferència del castellà, el francès i l’occità. Però, sobretot, s’estudien detalladament les fonts literàries que Enyego d’Àvalos emprà per a enriquir la seua ficció: catalanes, castellanes i provençals; italianes (Dante, Pretarca, Boccaccio i, sobretot, els commenti dantescos de Da Imola i Pietro Alighieri); obres de temàtica religiosa i patrística... Es presta atenció a la petjada de clàssics antics (Homer, Virgili, Ovidi, Lucà, Llucià, Plató...), que marquen determinats passatges d’una novel·la de “cavalleria humanística”, on es palesa l’accés del cavaller ibèric a clàssics redescoberts per l’Humanisme italià.
