Matrix complementizers in Italo-Romance
Linguistik Aktuell, 2019Abstract Based on uncharted evidence from Italo-Romance, we describe and discuss three types of matrix clauses, i.e. jussives, concessives and optatives, which reveal a certain degree of consistency but also display different patterns of microvariation. We show how such clauses may be introduced by complementizers, whose insertion is strictly dependent

Morphological complexity without abstractness: Italo-Romance metaphony [PDF]
Poznan Studies in Contemporary Linguistics, 2011 This paper considers some selected cases of stressed vowel alternations arisen from the application of metaphony in Italo-Romance dialects. While similar cases are often reported in the literature, the ones picked up here stand out because they resist, for several reasons, any analysis treating metaphony as a synchronic phonological rule (albeit ...

Venetan belongs to the group of northern Italian dialects, which are characterized by the presence of some phonological and morphological features that are common to French dialects and are attributed to the Celtic substratum. However, numerous traces of the Venetic substratum distinguish the Venetan dialects from the other (Gallo-Italic) dialects.

The following questions are addressed: why the perfect auxiliary appears in the two forms be and have within a single language, what drives this distribution, and how cross-linguistic data can be accounted for.

The TORNARE-periphrasis in Italo-Romance
2022This chapter examines verbal periphrases involving the originally transitive Latin verb TORNARE ‘turn’ in Italo-Romance. The emergence in late Latin of intransitive uses of TORNARE as a verb of motion meaning ‘return, go back’ prepared the way for early Romance collocations with an infinitive, ‘go back to doing’.

Central-Southern Italo-Romance
2022Although respective Central (= CIDs) and Southern (= SIDs) Italo-Romance dialects display peculiar linguistic features, they also share a substantial number of common isoglosses such that they can be classified as two subdivisions of the same geolinguistic unit.

This chapter provides a detailed account of the word order properties of Old Sicilian and Old Venetian. It shows that the two Old Italo-Romance varieties have much in common, namely a preverbal field not specialized for subjects, a dominant V2 order, two types of V2-related inversion, and matrix/embedded asymmetries.
