Summary The articles that follow represent a selection of the papers presented at the 33rd annual meeting of the Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages held at Indiana University, Bloomington, on April 24-27, 2003. The papers in this collection have been carefully refereed, and deal with questions of phonology, morphosemantics, and syntax in a variety of Romance languages, including French (both Old and Modern), Spanish (both standard and Peruvian), Catalan, Galician, Italian, Occitan, Portuguese, and Romanian. The contributions are arranged alphabetically by their authors' surnames rather than thematically. These papers demand of the reader more than just a passing familiarity with the linguistic theory in which the respective studies were carried out
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapter, and index of terms and concepts
