This book presents and analyzes various features of the
morphosyntax of Borgomanerese, a Gallo-Italic dialect spoken in the
town of Borgomanero, in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy. The
study is highly comparative, drawing on the literature on numerous
other Italian dialects and Romance languages (as well as English),
to inform our understanding of the Borgomanerese phenomena.
Christina Tortora takes the many unusual and understudied (and
often novel) facts of Borgomanerese grammar as compelling grounds
for revisiting and reformulating current analyses of syntactic
phenomena in these other languages. The phenomena treated include
the syntax and semantics of the weak locative in presentational
sentences; the syntax of object clitics and argument prepositions;
the syntax of subjects and subject clitics; the syntax of
interrogatives; clausal architecture; and the relationship between
orthography and theoretical analysis. The principal value of this
book lies both in the rich description of the morphosyntactic
phenomena of Borgomanerese, many of which have not been previously
reported in the literature, and in the consequent novel analyses
developed, which contribute insights for other languages and
dialects, and advance our understanding of syntax and syntactic
theory in general.
