Portuguese is the second most spoken Romance language in the world,
and due to recent interest in comparative syntax, the literature on
its syntax has increased exponentially, resulting in exciting
discoveries of a range of aspects that have hitherto been
overlooked. This book provides a theoretically grounded overview of
the major syntactic properties of Portuguese, focusing on the
differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese. It shows
from a theoretical point of view how different syntactic properties
are interconnected by comparing and contrasting the variances
between pronominal and agreement systems, null subjects, null
complements, and word order. It also highlights how small
differences in the specification of syntactic properties may yield
quite different dialects. It introduces key theoretical points
without technical jargon, making the content accessible to
specialist and non-specialists alike. It is essential reading for
both academic researchers and students of Portuguese language,
comparative syntax, Romance linguistics, and theoretical syntax.
