AND FR ANCISCO ORDĨĐEZ The papers published in this book resulted from a project called Romania Nova, launched in 2005, in Monterrey, Mexico, and coordinated by the guest editors and authors of this Foreword Romania Nova was part of the Associaỗóo de Linguớstica e Filologia da America Latina (ALFAL), and its purpose was to compare Romance languages in Europe with those in Latin America and eventually compare the Romance varieties in Latin America1 among themselves by using the common theoretical tools launched by the Principles and Parameter (P&P) theory (Chomsky 1981).2 That framework was the first serious attempt made in Generative Grammar to understand the patterns of variation found in natural languages It provided a formal and explicit theory of patterns of variation by proposing the notion of parameters, that is, principles subject to choice in natural languages This change of focus in generative grammar—​to study syntactic variation in a formal and explicit way through the study of parameters—​has had a major impact to this day One early consequence of the P&P theory was that variation became fundamental, not a side problem; and it needed to be tackled to understand our language faculty Through the study of what is different and similar, we better understand the limits of variation As a result, specific conferences and collections comparing traditional language families are now rather frequent The second consequence of the P&P theory was the revival of diachronic studies In studying Brazilian Portuguese (BP), linguists often resorted to internal changes to explain aspects of the grammar distinct from European Portuguese (EP) (cf Duarte 1995; Cyrino, 1995, among others) In the future the intention is also to expand Romania Nova to compare Quebec French with the French spoken in Europe Our research group also held meetings in Monterrey, Mexico (2005), Maceió, Brazil (2006), Montevideo, Uruguay (2008), Campos Jordão, Brazil (2010), Alcalá de Henares, Spain (2011), Natal, Brazil (2013), and Buenos Aires, Argentina (2014) viii One fundamental question in the P&P perspective is to what degree the languages being compared are different It is obvious that the differences in syntax between BP and, say, Chinese are greater than the differences between EP and BP Which is the right level of difference to examine? The answer depends on the focus of research Baker (1996, 2009) provides advantages of examining large differences in the architecture of language by comparing radically different languages like English and Mohawk However, Kayne (2000) has advocated comparing closely related languages or varieties of the same language According to these two positions we might talk of macroparamters as in Baker’s work or microparameters in Kayne’s approach This volume presents a series of works in comparative syntax ascribed more closely to the microparametric view in the area of the Romance languages in Latin America, which is the mission of Romania Nova The extension and variability of the Romance languages in the Americas makes them the ideal scenario to understand how variation occurs or is restricted among closely related languages and varieties of languages For instance, the comparison of BP and EP in the distribution of null subjects has been crucial to providing an adequate formulation of the null subject parameter (see Kato and Negrão 2000) Also, the discussion about the distribution of subjects in Caribbean Spanish (Ordóđez and Olarrea 2006; Toribio, 2000) has been fruitful in the study of what the correct characterization of the structure of wh-​questions is in natural languages Moreover, Romania Nova permits us to discover new dialectal differences not studied before In fact, BP, EP, Caribbean Spanish, and Peninsular Spanish are all labels that hide further syntactic distinctions None of these macrovarieties are uniform syntactically Of course it is likely that the Portuguese spoken, in, say, Salvador and São Sao Paulo differ less from each other than either with respect to Lisbon Portuguese Nevertheless, there are syntactic and morphological differences between Salvador and São Paulo that may be significant for the understanding of limits of variation as well By the same token, Caribbean Spanish encompasses the Spanish spoken in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and possibly the shore of Colombia and Venezuela Nevertheless, there are notable syntactic differences between the Spanish spoken in these areas, some unexplored or even within supposed national varieties for that matter Labels like “Brazilian Portuguese,” “European Portuguese,” and “Caribbean Spanish” in this book are used for simplicity, but we not want to ascribe any particular theoretical meaning to them; we not want to convey the idea that BP, Argentinian Spanish, or Mexican Spanish are uniform systems We want to encourage the idea that discovering differences internal to these varieties is important because it makes our task richer and also more challenging Also, we think that the division between Spanish and Portuguese itself is part of a continuum of varieties There is no good reason why one should limit one’s studies to Spanish varieties or Portuguese varieties alone As a matter [ viii ]  Foreword   ix of fact, studies on cleft sentences or pro-​drop in this book show that BP and Caribbean Spanish might have a lot of common properties, which makes them different from other varieties of Spanish or Portuguese spoken in Europe, for example With all this in mind, we decided to unite the group of researchers working mostly on Spanish in Latin America and Portuguese in Brazil This volume contains good examples of the type of study advocated for earlier The chapters either compare varieties of Portuguese and Spanish spoken in the Americas or explore a specific property of one of these varieties The topics studied in the 10 years of the history of Romania Nova include subjects, objects, impersonal se constructions, wh-​constructions, floating quantifiers, control and infinitives, and one topic on morphology In the domain of subjects, Duarte and Soares da Silva present a meticulous study of the occurrences of null subjects in Italian, BP, EP, Argentinian Spanish, Peninsular Spanish, and Caribbean Spanish Their work shows the importance that inflection plays in the distribution of null subject Camacho also studies null subjects in BP and Caribbean Spanish and concludes that inflectional paradigms in these varieties are losing their referentiality Camacho employs the Minimalist program to render this intuition in terms of feature composition of the inflection Saab’s work is an original contribution to the understanding of the so-​called partial (non-​) pro-​drop languages in Romance, which he claims is a nonuniform phenomenon He starts by assuming that nominative subjects are deleted at PF in consistent null subject languages through head ellipsis One type of partial null subject language he considers is the Northern Italian dialects, which he sees as null subject languages with some subjects phonetically realized for the same reason as other cases of multiple copy realization Another type is BP, which he considers a non-​null subject language, with some null subjects that are not the result of head ellipsis but relate to the impoverishment of verbal agreement in this language, making the EPP impossible to satisfy morphologically Also in the domain of subjects, Lacerda’s chapter presents a comparative study of floating quantifiers in BP and Spanish He proposes that the differences in both languages follow from case and the differences in focalization strategies between BP and Spanish Thus he proposes different cartographic structures for each language Hyper-​raising is the topic of discussion in Nunes’s contribution to the domain of subjects His chapter discusses its peculiarities and distribution with respect to constructions with topics that can trigger agreement with the verb in BP In order to tackle the question of optionality of this agreement, Nunes presents an analysis in which agreement is triggered depending on the subarrays compared Hyper-​raising is also discussed in the chapter by Colaỗo and Gonỗalves in their study of coordinated structure DP V-​and-​V in BP and EP They contend that the availability of this construction in BP and EP is due to hyper-​raising However, the differences in this construction in these two varieties are due Foreword  [ ix ] 354 Mattoso Câmara, J.Jr (1970) Estrutura da Língua Portuguesa Petrópolis: Vozes McCarthy, John J., and Alan S Prince (1986/​1996) Prosodic Morphology Linguistics Department Faculty Publication Series University of Massachusetts, Amherst McCarthy, John J., and Alan S Prince (1988) Quantitative transfer in reduplicative and templatic morphology In Linguistic Society of Korea (ed.), Linguistics in the Morning Calm Seoul: Hanshin, 3–​35 Mester, Armin (1990) Patterns of truncation Linguistic Inquiry 21: 478–​485 Scher, Ana Paula (2011) Formas truncadas em português brasileiro e espanhol peninsular:Descriỗóo preliminar Revista Virtual de Estudos da Linguagem:ReVEL www.revel.inf.br Scher, Ana Paula (2012) Formas truncadas em português brasileiro e espanhol peninsular:Casos de formaỗóo de palavras a partir da raiz In D da Hora and E V Negrão (eds.), Estudos da linguagem: Casamento entre temas e perspectivas João Pessoa: Editora Universitária Scher, Ana Paula (2013a) Concatenative affixation in Brazilian Portuguese truncated nominals: A distributed morphology account In N Goto, K Otaki, A Sato and K Takita (eds.)
