The Syntax of Old Romanian

GABRIELA PANĂ DINDELEGAN (ed.), The Syntax of Old Romanian, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2016.

ONLINE ANNEXES

THE ONLINE ANNEXES are meant to supplement the examples of old Romanian structures given in The Syntax of Old Romanian, Oxford University Press, 2016, enriching the body of syntactic constructions described in the book. The annexes are aimed at: (i) increasing the number of examples for those syntactic constructions that are either highly relevant or under-represented in the book; (ii) including examples from all the three centuries of language evolution that are part of the description; (iii) providing examples from stylistically diverse texts. Generally, the same corpus has been used as in the book; the few exceptions are inventoried and abbreviated at the end of the Annexes.

In order to match the examples with the text itself, THE ONLINE ANNEXES have the same titles and subtitles, and repeat the numbering of examples of the book. For instance, all the examples regarding subject word order appear in the book and in the Annexes under the same title and chapter number (that is §2.4.1.6 Subject word order) and with the same numbering of the examples ((215) – (223)), except that the examples in the Annexes are differentiated by [’] ((215’) – (223’)); the letters identifying the examples also correspond to the letters of the examples in the book, so that (215a) in the book corresponds to (215’a) in the Annexes. Where several examples are given in the Annexes for the same syntactic pattern, they are included under the same number as a bullet-point list (for instance, three examples of the Annexes, which are given in (223’a) and correspond to (223a) of the book, are each preceded by a bullet [●]).
