Conclusion. 520 $a This volume provides the first book-length study of the controversial topic of Verb Second and related properties in a range of Medieval Romance varieties. It presents an examination and analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data from Old French, Occitan, Sicilian, Venetian, Spanish, and Sardinian, in order to assess whether these were indeed Verb Second languages. Sam Wolfe argues that V-to-C movement is a point of continuity across all the medieval varieties - unlike in the modern Romance languages - but that there are rich patterns of synchronic and diachronic variation in the medieval period that have not previously been observed and investigated. These include differences in the syntax-pragmatics mapping, the locus of verb movement, the behaviour of clitic pronouns, the syntax of subject positions, matrix/embedded asymmetries, and the null argument properties of the languages in question. The book outlines a detailed formal cartographic analysis of both the attested synchronic patterns and the diachronic evolution of Romance clausal structure. The findings have widespread implications for the understanding of both the key typological property of Verb Second and the development of Latin into the modern Romance languages.--Book jacket. 650 0 $a Romance languages $x Syntax. 650 0 $a Romance languages $x History. 650 7 $a Romance languages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01099802 650 7 $a Romance languages $x Verb. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01099863 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wolfe, Sam. $t Verb second in medieval romance. $d Oxford : Oxford University Press, [2019] $w (OCoLC)1034560828 830 0 $a Oxford studies in diachronic and historical linguistics ; $v 34. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021409.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C554C5FC68DD11EA9C5A9E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
