This book was first published in 2010. The study of Romance
languages can tell us a great deal about sentence structure and its
variation in general. Focusing on the dialects of Italy - including
the islands of Sardinia and Sicily - the authors explore three
thematic areas: the nominal domain, the verbal domain and the left
periphery of the clause. The book gives fresh attention to the
dialects, arguing that they offer an unprecedented degree of
variation (not found, for example, in Germanic languages).
Analysing a host of data, the authors show how the dialects can be
used as a test-bed for investigating and challenging received ideas
about language structure and change. Coherent and wide-ranging,
this is a vital resource for those working in syntactic theory,
historical linguistics and Romance languages.
