Her main research interests are the interfaces between discourse, semantics, and syntax; the history of Italian; and Italian and Romance linguistics and dialectology. From 2010 to 2014 she was Principal Investigator on a major AHRC-funded research project entitled Existential Constructions: An Investigation into the Italo-Romance Dialects, on which this book is based. Her publications include Split Intransitivity in Italian (Mouton de Gruyter, 2006) and, co-edited with J.C. Smith, Historical Linguistics 1995. Volume 1: General Issues and non-Germanic Languages. Selected papers from the 12th International Conference on Historical Linguistics (Benjamins, 2000). Francesco Maria Ciconte is Assistant Professor of Italian Linguistics at the University of Puerto Rico. His PhD, from the University of Manchester in 2010, investigates the existential constructions of the early Italo-Romance varieties; the results presented in his thesis were published in an article that was awarded the 6th Robins Prize of the Philological Society. From 2011 to 2013 he worked as a Research Associate on the AHRC-funded project Existential Constructions: An Investigation into the Italo-Romance Dialects. Silvio Cruschina is Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Romance Studies at the University of Vienna. His PhD (Cambridge, 2009) was on the interaction between syntax and pragmatics, and on the correspondences between word order alternations and interpretive effects in Romance, within a cartographic approach to syntactic structures. From 2011 to 2013 he was a Research Associate on the AHRC-funded project Existential Constructions: An Investigation into the Italo-Romance Dialects. His publications include Discourse-Related Features and Functional Projections (OUP, 2012), and, co-edited with Martin Maiden and J. C.
