Language contact and Romance demonstratives
Talk with Alexandra Stavinschi.
Abstract
There is considerable variety among the Romance demonstrative systems. My aim is to show that, diachronically, they cluster into different but regular configurations. We can identify recurrent patterns, which raise intriguing questions: is that the result of internal change or are they mainly triggered by a domino effect in language contact across Europe?
