Recent years have witnessed a (re)surfacing of interest on the interaction of morphology and syntax. For many grammatical phenomena, it is not easy to draw a dividing line between syntactic and morphological structure. This has led to the assumption that syntax is the module responsible not only for deriving syntactically complex phrases but also for deriving morphologically complex items, both in inflection and word formation. There are however also good reasons to think that syntax is not involved in all morphological processes and that there are consistent areas of morphology that are independent from syntactic processes. This book presents a collection of papers where phenomena from Romance languages and varieties are analysed under contrasting views on how morphology and syntax interact. All the contributions follow the aim to investigate what the analysed phenomena tell us about their structural make‐up and the grammatical processes involved.

Diese Studie bietet eine Anwendung der Distributed Morphology (DM) - eines der jüngsten Ansätze für die Beschreibung morphologischer Phänomene und Strukturen im Rahmen der Generativen Grammatik - auf die spanische Verbalflexion. Sie liefert eine ausführliche Analyse des gesamten Systems der regelmäßigen Verben und darüber hinaus eine umfassend Analyse der unregelmäßigen Verben des Spanischen. Die Analyse erfolgt aus einem synchronen Blickwinkel, wobei Exkurse in die Diachronie erfolgen, wenn für die Argumentation erforderlich. Als syntaktischer Rahmen für die Einbettung der DM, die in der deutschsprachigen Romanistik bislang nur wenig Beachtung gefunden hat, dient das Sonden- und Phasenmodell des späten Minimalismus. Die DM betrachtet Wortformen nämlich nicht als statische Gebilde, sondern als Ergebnis unterschiedlicher Generierungsprozesse. Diese betreffen nicht nur die Morphologie im engen Sinne, sondern erstrecken sich auch auf das Lexikon, die Syntax, die Phonologie und die Semantik. Der Band soll einen Beitrag dazu leisten, die Relation zwischen den Merkmalen der involvierten Flexionsendungen, der syntaktischen Struktur und der beteiligten morpho(phono)logischen Prozesse bei ihrer Generierung zu erhellen.

Romance is a fertile ground for linguistic research. Instead of limiting their studies to one specialised area, some Romance scholars have managed to combine different aspects of the broad field of Romance linguistics in an impressive way. This volume is dedicated to the multifaceted research interests of Guido Mensching: Part 1 focusses on different aspects of the architecture of grammar and linguistic theory, covering Italian, Portuguese, French, Sardinian and Romance. The focus of Part 2 is on historical linguistics, discussing Old Occitan lexicography and Romance in Hebrew scripts. Part 3 is dedicated to aspects relating to plurilingualism, language contact and sociolinguistics. Part 4 explores research arguments that go beyond Romance philology but are nonetheless intertwined with it.
