Abstract The impact of vowel nasalization in Halo-Romance has been varied. In the standard language and in non-standard varieties of the centre and south, vowel evolution has scarcely been influenced at all by the effect of nasality. However, a very different picture presents itself in northern dialects.

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.

Periphrases and irregular paradigms in Italo-Romance
2022Morphomes constitute autonomous distributional patterns that are purely morphological and internal to the morphological component. These patterns often originate as the accidental product of sound change but are subsequently preserved and replicated in diachrony in a way that suggests that they have become cognitive templates or abstract ...

Argument realization and existential pro-forms in early Italo-Romance
2013In this paper we claim that the emergence of the existential pro-form in early Italo-Romance is motivated by the overt marking of definiteness on the pivot. The available data from a relatively large corpus of early Italo-Romance texts dating from C13th to C16th suggest that the overt marking of definiteness, which differentiates Romance from its ...
