Sommario/riassunto

This volume is a collection of grammar sketches from several Italo-



Romance varieties.The contributions cover various areas of linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax)and are organized in sections according to the customary geolinguistic classification.Each chapter provides the description of a salient phenomenon for a given language,based on novel data, as well as the state-of-the-art knowledge on that phenomenon.The articles are in-depth studies carried out by prominent experts as well as promisingyoung scholars.The theoretical apparatus is kept to a minimum in order to make the book accessible toscholars without specific expertise. For the same reason, hypotheses and formalisms areintroduced gradually, only if necessary for the description of the data.
