Description
This book is a tribute to Montserrat Batllori by colleagues and colleagues on the occasion of her retirement, in gratitude for all that she has given us throughout her academic career. The title of the work, «Linguistica sine finibus», i.e. linguistics without frontiers, is intended to highlight the open conception that has characterised both her research and her teaching in the field of linguistics. The volume, which brings together twenty-one works linked to the different areas of study to which Batllori has devoted his career, is structured around the following thematic axes: (i) geolectal variation and Romance variants, (ii) diachronic variation, (iii) language history, (iv) argument structure: theory and applications, and (v) corpus analysis. The originality of the contributions and the diversity of theoretical and methodological frameworks employed make this volume a work of great scientific relevance for the study of language from all its aspects, while at the same time reflecting the transversality of the honoree.
