Dear colleagues,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We would like to bring to your attention a Call for Papers for a special issue of the Catalan Journal of Linguistics, entitled
<i class="">'Crosslinguistic perspectives on syntactic change in the diachrony of Romance’. </i></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
The syntax of Romance languages is one of the most thoroughly researched areas in both synchronic and diachronic linguistics. The generative enterprise provided a theoretical framework that was soon applied to canonical Romance languages, leading to studies
that would significantly shape the field. As our understanding of Romance syntax deepened, the literature expanded to include minoritised varieties, thereby broadening the scope of the generative inquiry. Naturally, there has been a growing interest in exploring
modern varieties through the lens of microvariation, while historical linguists adopted tools from this body of research to analyse the bridge from Latin to Romance and medieval varieties. Consequently, both diachronic change within single languages and synchronic
variation in Romance languages are extensively studied, offering a thorough understanding of Romance syntax at several levels.<br class="">
<br class="">
This special issue addresses the lack of diachronic studies focusing on variation. Submitted papers must feature: (i) a diachronic study of one or several syntactic phenomena, (ii) a comparison between at least two Medieval Romance varieties, including, for
instance, the analysis of contact phenomena, shared linguistic innovations, and the emergence of linguistic splits in geographically contiguous varieties, as well as the comparison of more distant varieties that exhibit interesting parallelisms, (iii) a theoretical
approach to the evolution of syntax anchored in the generative tradition, with the aim of testing and redefining formal hypotheses.</div>
