第一讲:

关于V2结构的早期理论

Early Theorising on V2

时间:620日 下午4:00-6:00

      4:00-6:00PM, June 20, 2024

地点:教二109

摘要:This lecture will introduce some of the big-picture debates concerning parameterisation and how they pertain to the Verb Second property. It will provide an overview of classic analyses of V2, alongside other core word-order properties, and how they have changed over the past four decades.

 

第二讲:

简论罗曼语言语序的演变

Introducing Roman Word-Order Change

时间:621日 下午2:00-4:00

      June 21, 2:00-4:00 PM

地点:教二109

摘要:The study of word-order change in Romance has accrued a truly vast literature. This lecture will provide an introductory overview of the major questions that have been asked and some of the major empirical and theoretical advances to date. Topics covered will include the null-subject property, V2, scrambling, and the clitic pronominal system.

 

第三讲:

中世纪罗曼语言和V2结构类型

Medieval Romance and the V2 Typology

时间:621日 下午4:00-6:00

      June 21 4:00-6:00

地点:教二109

摘要:Building on the contents of Lecture 1 and 2, this lecture will provide a detailed analysis of the syntax of Medieval Romance, suggesting that a number of modifications have to be made to the classic analysis of V2 to accommodate the data. This analysis, in turn, paves the way for a new understanding of a number of aspects of diachronic Romance syntax.

 

第四讲:

语言接触引发的古法语语言演变

Evaluating Contact-Induced Change in Old French

时间:624日 下午2:00-4:00

      2:00-4:00 PM, June 24, 2024.

地点:教二202

摘要:A prominent position in the literature is that a number of properties of Old French syntax should be attributed to contact-induced change with Germanic languages. In this lecture, we will explore the details of this hypothesis, and consider a range of evidence from historical sources as well as contemporary acquisitional studies, as to why it should be refuted.

 

第五讲:

建构保守和过渡性的罗曼语言

Building Conservative and Transitional Romance

时间:624日 下午4:00-6:00

      4:00-6:00PM, June 24, 2024

地点:教二202

摘要:This penultimate lecture will attempt to bridge a number of major questions in Modern Romance syntax with those why have been posed for historical stages of the Romance languages. We will spend some time considering these links, before developing the hypothesis that two typological groups of Romance languages spoken today should be identified: Conservative Romancewhich shows broad syntactic continuity with many properties of Early Medieval Romance, and a Transitional Groupwhich shows a degree of continuity, albeit alongside important micro-and nano parametric points of distinction.

 

第六讲:

建构创新性的罗曼语言

Building Innovative Romance

时间:627日 下午4:00-6:00

      4:00-6:00 PM, June 27, 2024

地点:教二109

摘要:In the final lecture, we will focus on two groups of Romance languages which have diverged the furthest from the Early Medieval Romance languages. These Gallo-, Italo-, and Ibero-Romance varieties spoken in Romance-spoken Europe, North Africa, and North and South America are characterised by major divergence from what we term a conservative Romance norm. A variety of diagnostics will be considered for placement within a Romance typology, pertaining to verb movement, the makeup of the subject later, and the nature of left-peripheral topicalisation and focalisation.
