By providing an original set of criteria for measuring productivity, based on the investigation of loanword integration, conversions, and class shift, Gardani provides a substantial contribution to the theory of inflection, as well as to the study of the morphological integration of loanwords. The result is a wealth of empirical facts, including data from the contact languages Etruscan, Ancient Greek, Germanic, Arabic, Byzantine Greek, Old French and Provençal, accompanied by brilliant and groundbreaking analyses.Empirical Approaches to Linguistic Theory4.Romance languagesMorphologyRomance languagesNounRomance languagesGrammar, HistoricalLatin languageInfluence on RomanceLatin languageMorphologyItalian languageMorphologyProductivity (Linguistics)Romance languagesMorphology.Romance languagesNoun.Romance languagesGrammar, Historical.Latin languageInfluence on Romance.Latin languageMorphology.Italian languageMorphology.Productivity (Linguistics)440/.04554Gardani Francesco1975-472772MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817436203321Dynamics of morphological productivity4055599UNINA
