Isogloss. A journal on variation of Romance and Iberian languages


Isogloss. A journal on variation of Romance and Iberian languages studies language variation from a comparative perspective. In doing so, it offers a forum for discussion of different approaches, either theoretically or descriptively oriented, that help us progress in our understanding of such varieties, their differences, and similarities.

33 p, 569.5 KB « Je t'aime. - Moi aussi (je t'aime). » : supersloppiness from a French perspective / Charnavel, Isabelle (Université de Genève)
In dialogs like "I love you - I do too", the pronoun in the ellipsis site can be interpreted as dependent on the preceding overt pronoun (i. e. I do love you too). This dependency can neither be explained by Kaplan's (1977/1989) theory implying the fixity of indexicals, nor by the various theories of bound indexicals: due to mismatch in person features, the identity in the ellipsis is not sloppy, but supersloppy in such cases. [...]

In this paper, we introduce and discuss a type of ellipsis in Spanish, undocumented in the previous literature, which we will refer to as Predicate Phrase Ellipsis (PredP-Ellipsis), and its consequences for the theory of ellipsis licensing. [...]

Perception verbs in Spanish (e. g. ver, 'to see'; oír, 'to hear') can combine simultaneously with a direct object and different kinds of clausal modifiers. One of these are pseudo-relative clauses (e. [...]

44 p, 604.4 KB The heterogeneous nature of verbal alternations : What information structure can tell us about it / Jiménez-Fernández, Ángel L (Universidad de Sevilla)
In this paper, I discuss Dative Alternation and Locative Alternation, proposing a cross‑linguistically heterogeneous behavior of verb alternates. I explore information structural factors and study the available basic verb patterns in contexts where no previous shared information is presumed (broad focus), which is taken as diagnostic of the derived or non-derived nature of a given verbal alternation.

Long-distance dependencies are a major property of human language, deriving from the successive application of movement operations across sentences. Nevertheless, this possibility seems to be restricted by the presence of barriers, which 'trap' constituents in more or less 'resistant' syntactic islands. [...]
