The book provides a formal analysis of root and complement clauses in Old Romanian, focussing on the combination of Balkan syntactic patterns and Romance morphology. It presents a new perspective on the manifestation of Balkan Sprachbund properties in the language, and on the nature of parametric differences in relation to other Romance languages.
recommend the book to linguists of any theoretical persuasion interested in Balkan linguistics, diachronic variation and the syntax of control structures.
