Reihe: Open Romance Linguistics

The present volume presents a selection of the revised and peer-reviewed proceedings articles of the 50th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL 50) which was hosted virtually by the faculty and students from the University of Texas at Austin. With contributions from rising and senior scholars from Europe and the Americas, the volume demonstrates the breadth of research in contemporary Romance linguistics with articles that apply corpus-based and laboratory methods, as well as theory, to explore the structure, use, and development of the Romance languages. The articles cover a wide range of fields including morphosyntax, semantics, language variation and change, sociophonetics, historical linguistics, language acquisition, and computational linguistics. In an introductory article, the editors document the sudden transition of LSRL 50 to a virtual format and acknowledge those who helped them to ensure the continuity of this annual scholarly meeting.

Über Autor(innen)

Bullock, Barbara E.
Barbara E. Bullock (Ph.D., Linguistics, University of Delaware 1991) is Professor of Linguistics in the Department of French & Italian at the University of Texas. She specializes in the effects of bilingualism and language contact on linguistic structure, particularly on phonetic systems. Her research projects investigate sociophonetics, code-switching and borrowing, language variation and change, and computational approaches to multilingualism.

Toribio, Almeida Jacqueline
Almeida Jacqueline Toribio (Ph.D., Linguistics, Cornell University 1993) is Professor of Linguistics in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Texas. Her research in formal linguistics investigates patterns of morphological and syntactic variation across languages and dialects as well as structural patterns of language mixing in bilingual code-switching; her complementary work in sociolinguistics considers the ways in which variables such as ethnicity, race, gender, literacy, and national origin are encoded through linguistic features and language choices.

Russi, Cinzia
Cinzia Russi (Ph.D., Linguistics, University of Washington 2003) is Professor of Romance and Italian Linguistics and director of the Graduate Portfolio Program in Romance Linguistics. Her primary research area is on historical (socio)linguistics with a focus on (morpho)syntax. Recently recently, she has been studying the linguistic repertoire of contemporary Italian crime fiction writers. Her books include Iconicity and analogy in language change: The development of double object clitic clusters from medieval Florentine to modern Italian (co-authored with Janice Aski) and Sicilian elements in Andrea Camilleri’s narrative language. A linguistic analysis.
