If you’re in Birmingham next week, join us for the 2nd edition of Romance Grammars, Context & Contact. Anna Paradís and I will present new data of clitic climbing, pro-drop & auxiliary switch in a ling continuum of Gallo-Occitano-Catalano-Romance, and a formal analysis that connects these phenomena

👉🏻 join us this Thursday at the Romance Linguistics Seminar! We will argue that size doesn’t matter, and that it may change over time 👀 The talk will feature data from Catalan and Old French mostly, with the occasional Spanish, Italian, and Romanian examples 😉
