Laeufer Christiane, Morgan Terrell A. (Eds.). Theoretical Analyses in Romance Linguistics

John Benjamins Publishing Company, 1992. — 524 p. — (Current Issues in Linguistic Theory 74).Selected Papers from the Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages XIX, Ohio State University, April 21-23, 1989This 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).Phonology
