This volume investigates fundamental questions about the contact grammars of the Greek and Romance varieties of southern Italy. It uses numerous case to provide a comprehensive documentation of these varieties, furthering theoretical understanding of how languages change under contact.
The Germanic languages form a major sub-branch of the Indo-European language family, encompassing widely studied languages such as English, German, and Dutch, alongside lesser-known languages including Faroese, Frisian, and Luxembourgish.
This book proposes an object-centred and contextualist account of the count/mass distinction. The main finding is that there is a connection between variation in count/mass lexicalization patterns and the ways in which nouns can diverge from manifesting the canonical grammatical reflexes expected of the count/mass distinction in a given language.
