2018 New thoughts on an old puzzle: The Italian alternation type dissi, dicesti; feci, facesti Revue Romane 53:2, pp. 217–260 | Article
This study addresses the peculiar pattern of root-allomorphy exhibited by the Italo-Romance preterite. Stimulated by a recent study by Mark Elson, which depends on upholding the traditional view that the phenomenon in Italo-Romance is attributable to sound change and to the subsequent analogical… read more
2014 Two suppletive adjectives in Megleno-Romanian Revue Romane 49:1, pp. 32–52 | Article
This study involves the existence in Megleno-Romanian dialects of a lexically suppletive distinction between singular and plural forms of the adjectives meaning ‘small’ and ‘big’. The phenomenon has gone largely unnoticed both by comparative Romance linguists and by morphological theorists yet it… read more
2013 The Latin ‘third stem’ and its Romance descendants Diachronica 30:4, pp. 492–530 | Article
The ‘third stem’ in the Latin verb provides one of Aronoff’s best-known illustrations of the notion of ‘morphome’: unpredictably variable in form, it is also consistently associated with an abstract and heterogeneous pattern of distribution. My perspective is diachronic, exploring the history of… read more
2012 A paradox? The morphological history of the Romance present subjunctive Inflection and Word Formation in Romance Languages, Gaglia, Sascha and Marc-Olivier Hinzelin (eds.), pp. 27–54 | Article
A major morphological innovation in the Latin-Romance transition was the appearance of alternations in the root of the verb. This study examines the complex morphological evolution of the alternants which arose from proto-Romance palatalization and became characteristic of the present subjunctive… read more
2009 Imperative morphology in diachrony evidence from the Romance languages Historical Linguistics 2007: Selected papers from the 18th International Conference on Historical Linguistics, Montreal, 6–11 August 2007, Dufresne, Monique, Fernande Dupuis and Etleva Vocaj (eds.), pp. 99–108 | Article
This paper presents an initial comparative-historical synthesis of Romance affirmative imperative morphology. It explores its implications for morphological change generally. Imperatives emerge as a recurrent locus of suppletion and defectiveness, which can uniquely escape morphological changes… read more
2008 Lexical nonsense and morphological sense: On the real importance of 'folk etymology' and related phenomena for historical linguists Grammatical Change and Linguistic Theory: The Rosendal papers, Eythórsson, Thórhallur (ed.), pp. 307–328 | Article
2004 Into the past: Morphological change in the dying years of Dalmatian Diachronica 21:1, pp. 85–111 | Article
This study is concerned with Vegliote, the last remnant of the Dalmatian branch of the Romance languages, as used by its very last speaker in the last quarter of the 19th century. Specifically, I shall deal with a peculiar morphological neutralization of the distinction between present and past… read more
