Word classes in smaller Romance varieties -- 20 Word classes in Occitan -- 21 Word classes in Sardinian -- 22 Word classes in Romansh -- 23 Word classes in Ladin -- 24 Word classes in Northern Italian dialects -- 25 Word classes in Southern Italian dialects -- 26 Word classes in Romance-related Creoles -- IV. Romance word classes and their interfaces: new horizons -- 27 Word classes and psycholinguistics -- 28 Word classes and learner varieties -- 29 Word classes and corpus linguistics -- 30 Word classes and neurolinguistics -- 31 Exploring the behaviour of connectives within a textometric perspective -- Index
Summary: Word classes are linguistic categories serving as basis in the description of the vocabulary and grammar of natural languages. While important publications are regularly devoted to their definition, identification, and classification, in the field of Romance linguistics we lack a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of the current research. This Manual offers an updated and detailed discussion of all relevant aspects related to word classes in the Romance languages. In the first part, word classes are discussed from both a theoretical and historical point of view. The second part of the volume takes as its point of departure single word classes, described transversally in all the main Romance languages, while the third observes the relevant word classes from the point of view of specific Romance(-based) varieties. The fourth part explores Romance word classes at the interface of grammar and other fields of research. The Manual is intended as a reference work for all scholars and students interested in the description of both the standard, major Romance languages and the smaller, lesser described Romance(-based) varieties.
