The organization of LSRL XXXII and the preparation of the present volume were made possible through the generous support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and from the following units and organizations at the University of Toronto: Department of French, Department of Linguistics, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Emilio Goggio Chair in Italian Studies, Office of the Provost, Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences, University of Toronto Work-Study program, Woodsworth College, and Victoria University. We have benefited from the generous editorial and technical advice provided by J.-Marc Authier, William Forrest, Rafael Nuñez-Cedeño, Diane Massam, Keren Rice, Jeffrey Steele, Anke de Looper and Konrad Koerner. We count ourselves lucky to have had an excellent editorial team: Mihaela Pirvulescu, Adriana Scali, and Suzanne Bélanger. This project would have been more difficult and less pleasant without their cheerful and conscientious assistance. VI PREFACE The volume is organized in two parts. Part One deals with linguistic theory applied to the Romance languages. It includes chapters in the theory and description of Romance phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. The various essays in this section concentrate on three themes: a) specific properties of Romance at the syntax/semantics interface, with specific con tributions about Romanian (Alboiu), French (contributions by Authier & Reed, Labelle, Lahousse and Vinet), and Spanish (Gutiérrez-Rexach & Howe), b) morphosyntactic issues involving agreement, licensing and case, with specific contributions on Portuguese (contributions by Lima-Salles and Castro & Costa) as well as contrastive work establishing comparisons within Romance languages and across other language families (contributions by Bejar & Rezac, and by Cuervo), and last, essays on Romance morphonology, from analyses on contemporary central Romansch (Montreuil) and Argentinian Spanish (Baker & Wiltshire) to the study of diachronic issues, including Southern French dialects clitic distribution (Hirschbühler & Lab elle), and the evolution of Latin vowels (Calabrese). Part Two contains contributions on the first, second and bilingual acquisition of French, Italian, Spanish, and Romanian. The bulk of this section deals with the acquisition of functional structure (agreement and finiteness), with special attention to its role in the developmental distribution of null subjects (contributions by Prévost, Plunkett, and Berger-Morales), on determiner and auxiliary drop (Avram & Coene) and on compounding and noun-drop (Liceras). Finally, two contributions deal with phonological and semantic development respectively: L2 acquisition of stress (Bullock & Lord), and the bilingual acquisition of quantification at a distance (Hulk, Peets & Cornips).
