Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- 1. Introduction: Ext, Agree, Parameters -- I. Nominal inflections, person and case and their syntactic projection -- 2. Case categories in Albanian -- 3. N morphology and its interpretation: The neuter in Italian and Albanian varieties -- 4. Person splits in the case systems of Geg Albanian and Arbëresh: DOM and the PCC -- II. Lkrs, possessors and agreement in the DP -- 5. Lkrs in Aromanian in comparison with Albanian -- 6. Case in Aromanian compared to Romanian: The Person split and agreeing possessives -- 7. Oblique case in Punjabi: Ergativity splits and agreeing possessors -- III. Complementation: Particles, Complementizers, Prepositions -- 8. Finite control (and raising) in Albanian: The subjunctive Prt as Lkr -- 9. The finite complementation system of Aromanian, in comparison to other Romance languages and Albanian -- 10. Non-finite complementation in Aromanian and Albanian: prepositional introducers, infinitivals, supines -- IV. Linguistic Contact -- 11. Notes on the contact between Italo-Albanian and Romance (Calabrian, Lucanian) varieties: borrowings, code-mixing and convergence -- 12. Causatives, case, passivization and agreement in the variety of Ginestra (Arbëresh): Against VP-movement and monoclausality -- References -- Index
Summary: This book deals with Albanian, including the dialects spoken in Southern Italy, and with the Aromanian spoken in Southern Albania. These languages are set in the context of current generative research on syntax, morphology, language variation and contact – yielding insights into key morphosyntactic notions of case, agreement, complementation, and into phenomena such as Differential Object Marking, the Person Case Constraint, linkers and control.
