Word-order information in the Lexicon
This is an accepted article with a DOI pre-assigned that is not yet published.We propose that crosslinguistic word-order variation (Abels 2016; Greenberg 1963; Cinque 2005) reflects information stored in the lexicon in the format of Lexical Items, and that the operations yielding word-order are the same that guide lexicalisation more generally in Nanosyntax (Starke 2009 and ff.). We show that this lexicalisation-based approach shares the empirica…
The correlation of micro-cues
This is an accepted article with a DOI pre-assigned that is not yet published.The purpose of this paper is to test the correlation between V2 word order and its presumed micro-cues. Micro-cues are structural manifestations that have been suggested to associate to a syntactic phenomenon, making its organization and acquisition accessible to users and learners. Three micro-cues of declining Medieval French V2 identified in the literature are tested…
A long farewell
The verb second word order (V2) is known to have been present in some Medieval Romance languages, and to have been lost. The loss is however a gradual process that we propose to relate to the decreasing height of the verb movement in the left periphery through the Medieval period: whereas in the initial period the verb could move to a high position (CP Topic/Focus projection), in the final period only lower peripheral positions are accessible. Th…
On postverbal subjects in Old Venetian
Postverbal subjects occupy different positions across languages, as they can result from V-to-C movement (e.g., German) or from the subject remaining low (e.g., Italian), either in a thematic or low focus position. We test postverbal subjects in Old Venetian and show that their frequency increases in (i) main clauses, and (ii) unaccusative/predicative/passive verbs. Postverbal pronominal subjects exclusively increase under (i), postverbal non-pro…
What’s hidden below definiteness and genitive
In French, Italian, and other Romance languages indefinite nominal phrases can be introduced by what appears to be the conflation of a genitive preposition and a definite article, the so-called “indefinite partitive articles” (e.g., Fr. Je cuisine de la soupe depuis deux jours . ‘I’ve been cooking soup for two days’). This is rather unexpected, since these nominal phrases are neither definite nor in a syntactic position in which we expect to find…
Indefinite Objects in Micro‐variation. A Cross‐linguistic Analysis of the Distribution of Partitives Articles, Bare Nominals and Definite Determiners in Northern Italy
This contribution focuses on indefinite arguments in object position. We address this topic from the point of view of the crosslinguistic variation within the Romance continuum, especially looking at Northern Italian Dialects (NIDs). The target is to describe the distribution of the different possible realizations of this kind of arguments in this area by means of an in‐depth analysis of the data coming from the ASIt database and from three new f…
Partitive Articles and Indefinites, Micro and Macrovariation
This introductory paper provides an overview of the main phenomena investigated in this Special Issue, such as the relation between the encoding of indefinites and the presence of genitive and definite markers, the relation between partitivity and indefiniteness and the distribution of these phenomena in minority, or “micro”, varieties – such as Italian dialects, Galloromance varieties, North and South Saami – compared to the distribution of the …
