Comínguez, Nuria Sagarra, Aurora Bel and Estela García-Alcaraz Index 265 Introduction Silvia Perpiñán, David Heap, Itziri Moreno-Villamar and Adriana Soto-Corominas University of Western Ontario On May 2–4, 2014, The University of Western Ontario and in particular the Faculty of Arts & Humanities, the Department of French Studies and the Department of Modern Languages & Literatures had the privilege of organizing the 44th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages in London Ontario, Canada. The symposium had over 60 talks and posters, including the keynote presentations by our invited speakers: Joyce Bruhn de Garavito, from the hosting university, Maria Teresa Guasti, from the Università di Milano-Bicocca, José Ignacio Hualde, from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and Viviane Déprez, from Rutgers University. We believe that we achieved our initial purpose of having different Romance languages and varieties, as well as different linguistic sub-disciplines well represented. The Symposium was accompanied by a pre-conference event on May 1st, 2014, at Museum London. This pre-conference event included the exhibit ‘French in Canada’ from the Canadian Language Museum, and two community-oriented talks, one in French by François Poiré “Contributions des études sur la communauté franco-ontarienne à la recherche en linguistique”, and in Spanish by Joyce Bruhn de Garavito, “La importancia de nuestro idioma en Canadá: hablemos español con la familia”. hauptbzuerichche/1 IP: 130.60.56.12 On: Wed, 07 Feb 2018 13:49:42 The conference itself was a total success: everything went smoothly, and most importantly, the quality of the talks and poster presentations was outstanding. Of 66 presentations at the conference, 28 were submitted for publication, a number which we had to reduce to just twelve exceptional articles. The selection of the papers you have in this volume has been a difficult task, as we had a rigorous page-limit for the edited volume. We are very happy that the publication of the LSRL proceedings has moved, beginning with the last volume, LSRL 43, to the ‘Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory’ series within John Benjamins, so that volume editors no longer have a topic restriction for theses volumes. This series was already publishing the proceedings of the European ‘Going Romance’, so these two sister conferences now have a meeting point in the same publication series. doi 10.1075/rllt.11.int © 2017 John Benjamins Publishing Company 2 Silvia Perpiñán et al. We have divided the present volume into three major representative subfields, with four articles each: Syntax-Semantics, Morphosyntax, and Bilingualism and Language Acquisition. In the first article of the Syntax-Semantics section, “Embedding Verbs and the Subjunctive Mood: the Emotive Factor”, Lena Baunaz explores the uses of the sub- junctive mood in French, in particular systematic grammatical differences in five classes of verbs which govern dependent clauses. She uses a nanosyntactic analysis to show that veridicality cannot be the deciding factor in mood selection. The claim here is that at the submorphemic level there is an emotive feature of certain predi- cates which requires the subjunctive mood. This feature leads to a proposed unified account of predicates that take the subjunctive, including impersonal structures. The second article in this section “Towards a Unified Treatment of Spanish Copulas”, by Arche, Fábregas, and Marín adds to the ongoing debate of the distri- bution of the Spanish copulas ser and estar by accounting for their alternation in adjectival and passive clauses in a unified way. They propose that the properties of passive clauses are due to the properties of the copulas and not the participles, and further argue that only estar has an additional component of central coincidence with a stative nature. Charnavel analyzes French scalar particles même, quand même, ne serait-ce que, and seulement and compares them to English particles even and only. Her article, “How French Sheds New Light on Scalar Particles” proposes a new theory based on specific characteristics such as scalarity, additivity, and exclusivity and provides new empirical evidence about these French particles, which, despite widespread assumptions, behave differently from their English counterparts. The last article of the Syntax-Semantics section is by Donazzan and Tovena and investigates the semantics of semelfactive predicates in Italian. In “Pluralities

  • Object Clitics for Subject Clitics in the Franco-Provençal Dialects of Apulia1
    Object clitics for subject clitics in the Franco-Provençal dialects of Apulia1. An analysis within Chomsky’s (2020) model Leonardo M. Savoia and Benedetta Baldi Università di Firenze (<[email protected]>; <[email protected]>) Abstract The relation between auxiliaries and argumental properties of the lexical verbs is the question raised by the facts we will investigate. Other issues are posed by the role and the behavior of deictic clitic pronouns in different contexts and in the clitic string. The data examined in this contribution come mainly from the Franco-Provençal dialects spoken in the villages of Celle San Vito and Faeto in North Apulia; these dialects are the heritage linguistic use of ancient minorities dating back to the thirteenth century. We will briefly compare these data with the related data of the Franco-Provençal varieties of West Piedmont. The analysis we propose relies on the idea that auxiliary verbs are not functional elements but preserve their lexical properties, as shown by the identic syntactic behavior of be in its different occurrences. The theoretical frame we follow is the formulation proposed in Chomsky (2020a,b), based on the merge operation and the Labeling Algorithm, leading to a more appropriate treatment of ‘head movement’ and agreeing syntactic structures. Keywords: OCls for SCls, auxiliary, copula, participle, DOM 1. The distribution of SCls and OCls in Apulian Franco-Provençal In the villages of Celle and Faeto (North Apulia) a Franco-Provençal dialect is spoken, brought here by the people that, approximately in the 13th century, founded these settlements. Apulian Franco- Provençal shows a system of pronominal clitics (Subject Clitics and Object Clitics) well documented for the dialects of their original area (Southern France, Aosta Valley and West Piedmont).

This study examines this preverbal particle system from a diachronic and synchronic perspective to shed light on issues of language contact, change, endangerment, and maintenance. The diachronic source of this system has important implications regarding its current and future status. My research indicates that this system is an ancient feature of the language, deriving from contact between the original inhabitants of Gascony, who spoke Basque or an ancestral form of the language, and the Romans who conquered the region in 56 B.C.

  • On the Source of the Infinitive in Romance-Derived Pidgins and Creoles
    On the source of the infinitive in Romance-derived pidgins and creoles John M. Lipski The Pennsylvania State University Introduction A recent comic strip, resuscitating racial stereotypes which had purportedly disappeared at least a century ago, depicted a dialogue between a Spanish priest and an outrageous parody of an African `native.' The latter begins by addressing the priest as follows: Yo estar muy enojado. Yo haber tenido 10 hijos, "todos de color"! Ahora el 11vo. nacer blanco! Ud. ser el único hombre blanco en 200 km. Ud. deber "EXPLICARME." [I am very angry. I've had ten children, "all colored!" Now the 11th one has been born white! You are the only white man within 200 km. You must "explain to me."] This stereotype is confirmed by independent observations. Ferguson (1971: 143-4) says that `a speaker of Spanish who wishes to communicate with a foreigner who has little or no Spanish will typically use the infinitive of the verb or the third singular rather than the usual inflected forms, and he will use mi `my' for yo `I' and omit the definite and indefinite articles: mi ver soldado `me [to-] see soldier' for yo veo al soldado `I see the soldier.' Such Spanish is felt by native speakers of the language to be the way foreigners talk, and it can most readily be elicited from Spanish-speaking informants by asking them how foreigners speak.' Thompson (1991) presented native speakers of Spanish with options as how to address a newly-hired employee who spoke little Spanish. A large number of respondents preferred sentences with bare

  • Romance Languages
    This page intentionally left blank Romance languages Ti Alkire and Carol Rosen trace the changes that led from colloquial Latin to five major Romance languages, those which ultimately became national or transnational languages: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian. Trends in spoken Latin altered or dismantled older categories in phonology and morphology, while the regional varieties of speech, evolving under diverse influences, formed new grammatical patterns, each creating its own internal regularities. Documentary sources for spoken Latin show the beginnings of this process, which comes to full fruition in the medieval emergence of written Romance languages. This book newly distills the facts into an appealing program of study, including exercises, and makes the difficult issues clear, taking well-motivated and sometimes innovative stands. It provides not only an essential guide for those new to the topic, but also a reliable compendium for the specialist. TI ALKIRE is a senior lecturer in the Department of Romance Studies at Cornell University. Besides historical Romance linguistics, his research interests include sty- listics, translation theory, and current variation in French and Italian. CAROL ROSEN is a professor of Linguistics and Romance Studies at Cornell University. Her work in language typology, grammatical relations, and formal theory design lends a special character to her research in Romance linguistics, ranging over histor- ical and contemporary topics.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. A bstract Tense and Aspect in Periphrastic Pasts: Evidence from Iberian Romance by Matthew Lambert Juge Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor Andrew Garrett, Chair Cross-linguistic similarities can result from shared history, borrowing, or parallel development, in which case the similarities may be due to universal tendencies or coincidence. For example, many languages have auxiliary verbs meaning ‘be’, ‘have’, ‘come’, or ‘go’. In some cases, different languages’ auxiliaries are very similar; for example, many future markers mean ‘want’. Other cases are more complicated; for instance, some future auxiliaries mean ‘go’ , but some mean ‘come’. Furthermore, divergent developments of the same verb show that these paths are not predictable simply from basic meanings. This dissertation examines the development of past tense auxiliaries from ‘be’, ‘have’, and ‘go’ in the Iberian Romance languages (Catalan, Portuguese, and Spanish) with emphasis on both diachronic and synchronic patterns, specifically addressing universal versus language-specific factors and comparing developments in the Romance languages and other language families.

Complex syntactic structures 5.5. Synopsis of some typological features 1. Introduction Of all European language families Romance has the largest number of native speakers worldwide. A branch of Indo-European, it subsumes all the languages that historically evolved from Latin. Most prominent among these are global lan- guages such as Spanish, Portuguese and French as well as European languages such as Italian, Romanian, Catalan. But there are also “lesser used” languages such as Occitan, Rhaeto-Romance, Sardinian and Galician. The number of Romance languages varies due to the notoriously imprecise boundary between language and dialect. In recent years, attempts to protect linguistic minorities have been accom- panied by tendencies to classify linguistic varieties as languages rather than as dialects, and in some classifications of the Romance languages varieties such as Asturian, Aragonese, Valencian, Gascon, Corsican, Piemontese, Venetian or Aro- manian appear as languages. We will not go further into this discussion, but it seems important to point out that all the lesser-used Romance languages and var- ieties must be considered, at least to some degree, as endangered. A general distinction can be established between the “Old Romania”, i.e. the Romance languages spoken in Europe, and the “New Romania”, Romance spoken due to colonization or migration in other parts of the world, above all in the Ameri- cas and in Africa.

    1 Anne Abeillé and Danièle Godard IUF, Université Paris 7 and CNRS, Université Lille 3 Varieties of ESSE in Romance Languages* 1. Introduction All modern Romance languages have inherited the copula and the passive auxiliary from the latin ESSE paradigm. A few of them, French (F), Italian (I), Romanian (R), Occitan and the variety of Catalan spoken in Majorca and Minorca, also use forms inherited from ESSE as a tense or aspectual auxiliary. Concentrating on F, I and R, we show that (i) in the three languages, the copula and the tense/aspectual auxiliary should be considered different lexemes, (ii) the copula, identified with the passive auxiliary, has the same complement structure in these three languages, and (iii) the tense/aspectual auxiliary may have a different complement structure from that of the copula; namely, the perfective R fi has the same complement structure as the R tense auxiliaries, which differs from that of the copula. The consequences of such findings are the following. First, it is wrong to take the copula or passive into account when stating the conditions on auxiliary selection in F and I. We provide an alternative to derivational generalizations such as Burzio 1986. Second, the difference in R between the complements of the tense and aspectual auxiliaries on the one hand, and of the copula on the other, shows that argument inheritance and constituent structure are two different phenomena, and to a certain extent, orthogonal properties: all the verbs which we examine here induce a complex predicate characterized by argument inheritance.1 This supports a grammatical architecture which can distinguish between the two, by distingusihing valence information from constituent structure, as in HPSG or LFG.
