Isogloss. A journal on variation of Romance and Iberian languages
estudia la variación lingüística desde una perspectiva comparada. De este modo, ofrece un foro para la discusión de diferentes enfoques, orientado tanto teóricamente como descriptivamente, que nos ayudan a progresar en la comprensión de este tipo de variedades, sus diferencias y similitudes.

7 p, 288.1 KB Remarks on labeling theory and the experimental study of wh-islands / Ortega-Santos, Ivan (University of Memphis)

32 p, 356.9 KB Paradigm levelling in Spanish as a case of Root Shrinking / Vanden Wyngaerd, Guido (Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven (1970- ))
Spanish has three verb classes, identified by three different theme vowels: -a, e, and -i. The verbs show three different types of paradigm levelling, whereby verb class distinctions are neutralised, either in whole or in part. [...]

40 p, 444.1 KB Strong and weak resultatives with result roots in English and Spanish / Smith, Ryan W. (Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey) ; Ausensi, Josep (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) ; Yu, Jianrong (Independent Researcher)
We consider a subclass of result verbs in Rappaport Hovav & Levin's (2010) sense built on roots that entail change (Beavers & Koontz-Garboden, 2020), e. g. , break, melt, explode, and tear. We argue that this class of roots possesses different grammatical properties between English and Spanish with respect to resultative constructions: these roots productively appear in both strong and weak resultatives in English but form only weak resultatives in Spanish (Washio, 1997).

Particle verbs or phrasal verbs, i. e. , combinations of a preposition-like element and a verb, are common among the languages of Europe and best known from Germanic, but their systematic aspectual use in Romansh, a minority Romance language of Southeastern Switzerland, has gone largely unrecognized in the literature.
