Proceedings of the XXXIII Incontro di Grammatica Generativa

The proceedings here collected are just a part of the talks given at the 33rd Incontro, held in Bologna from 1st to 3rd March 2007. The talks there presented were numerous and ranged over a wide varieties of fields of research in grammar: not only those that we could call ‘traditional’ as phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics, but also language acquisition and pathology have been taken into account.
Contributions in these proceedings, even though limited in number, are an excellent example of richness in contemporary linguistics research and evidence of the attraction that formal linguistics holds on young researchers, which a part of relations was reserved for.
We have chosen to divide this collection into subject fields: phonology, morphology, syntax and language acquisition.
Problems of phonology are tackled in the proceedings by Stefano Canalis, Maria Rosa Lloret, Attila Starčević; morphology is represented by the work of Susanna Padrosa Trias, while to syntax is dedicated the widest range of contributions: Theresa Biberauer with Anders Holmberg and Ian Roberts, Vincenzo Moscati, Ía Navarro Ibarra, Andrew Radford with Michèle Vincent, Francesca Ramaglia, Balázs Surányi; about acquisition’s problems argue instead the contributions by Elisa Di Domenico with Elisa Bennati and by Andrea Gualmini.
