Romance inter­rog­a­tive syn­tax: for­mal and typo­log­i­cal dimen­sions of vari­a­tion
This mono­graph offers an inno­v­a­tive under­stand­ing of the mech­a­nisms involved in Romance ‘option­al’ wh-in situ. New sup­port­ing evi­dence in favour of Cable’s (2010) Gram­mar of Q is pre­sent­ed, as well as nov­el imple­men­ta­tions of his orig­i­nal the­o­ry. In par­tic­u­lar, it is claimed that wh-in situ idioms are char­ac­terised not only by lan­guage-spe­cif­ic choic­es between Q‑projection and Q‑adjunction, and between overt and covert move­ment of Q, but also in terms of the locus where they check the fea­tures rel­e­vant to wh-ques­tions: while some lan­guages check both [q] and [focus] in C, oth­ers make use of the clause-inter­nal vP-periph­ery to check [focus]. Thanks to the vast amount of data pre­sent­ed and dis­cussed, along with the pre­dic­tions and the­o­ret­i­cal con­tri­bu­tions made, this mono­graph will be of inter­est to a wide range of spe­cial­ists in human lan­guage, from typol­o­gists to Romance spe­cial­ists and for­mal syn­tac­ti­cians, but also to the many experts in lan­guages with overt Q‑particles who won­der why Romance spe­cial­ists have long been so resis­tant to the imple­men­ta­tion of silent Q‑particles in their the­o­ret­i­cal mod­els.

Polemic and lit­er­a­ture sur­round­ing French Wars of reli­gion
Polemic and Lit­er­a­ture Sur­round­ing the French Wars of Reli­gion demon­strates that lit­er­a­ture and polemic inter­act­ed con­stant­ly in six­teenth-cen­tu­ry France, con­struct­ing ide­o­log­i­cal frame­works that defined the var­i­ous groups to which indi­vid­u­als belonged and through which they defined their iden­ti­ties. Con­tri­bu­tions explore both lit­er­ary texts (prose, poet­ry, and the­ater) and more inten­tion­al­ly polem­i­cal texts that fall out­side of the tra­di­tion­al lit­er­ary gen­res. Engag­ing the con­tin­u­ous cast­ing and recast­ing of oppos­ing world­views, this col­lec­tion of essays exam­ines literature’s use of polemic and polemic’s use of lit­er­a­ture as sem­i­nal intel­lec­tu­al devel­op­ments stem­ming from the reli­gious and social tur­moil that char­ac­ter­ized this peri­od in France.
