Subject Inversion in Romance and the Theory of Universal Grammar

by Aafke C.J. Hulk (Editor), Jean-Yves Pollock (Editor)

The Romance Languages document remarkable variations in subject word order in different constructions, and have various restrictions in their occurrence. No consensus has emerged on what the paramaters are for such variations. This volume does not attempt to create a consensus, but tries to represent and bring into dialogue the different sides of the debate.
