Grammatical variation in Ibero-Romance & Greek dialectal syntax
This research unit has centered its activities on data collection, formal syntax, theorizing on (micro)variation, cue-based reconstruction, and coupling of sociolinguistics with syntax. Pioneering work on Asia Minor Greek has been carried out by this group. Moreover, undergrads have been systematically involved in recording and analyzing Ibero-Romance variation (as found in Andalusia, Paraguay, Brazil, Colombia, Canaries, and Mozambique). This research unit is also involved in the Hercules project on constructing the Parsed Corpus of European Spanish Dialects, led by the University of Gent.
