| Abstract: | Complementizer systems in southern Italian varieties have received a lot of attention in the traditional dialectological literature. In this paper, we try to trace the diachronic development of complementizers in a scarcely documented vernacular Upper southern variety, Abruzzese. We indentify five stages in the development of this system, and two main developmental paths: one extending the ke/che to subordinate clauses, and the other extending ka to all clauses, including declarative unselected ones. |
| Key words: | Italo-Romance dialects; complementizers; diachronic syntax; Abruzzese |
