Fundamental Issues in the Romance Languages compares six Romance
languages—Catalan, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and
Romanian—and summarizes the last thirty years of scholarship in the
fields of morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse for each
language. The up-to-date analyses in this volume make it essential
for undergraduate and graduate students as well as scholars of each
language.
The contributors to this volume include Liliane Tasmowski, Sanda
Reinheimer, Philip Miller, Paola Monachesi, Anne Abeillé,

Legendre, Antonella Sorace, Carmen Dobrovie-Sorin, Brenda Laca,
