Formal Approaches to Dialectal Syntax

This volume explores what the spatial distribution of grammatical properties in linguistic atlases (and related tools) can tell us about the way linguistic competence is organized in the mind of speakers--that is, about their I-languages. This goal is a general one, may encompass different types of implicit knowledge (phonological, syntactic and semantic), and allows questions of varying scope to be posed in extremely precise terms, raising, at the same time, new theoretical and empirical issues.

Guest Editors: Ricardo Etxepare & Ángel J. Gallego
