FWF-Project "The Third Way" (2018-2022)
- Funding: FWF (Austrian Science Fund) (P 30751-G30)
- Project duration: June 2018 - October 2022
The FWF-Project „The Third Way“ examines adverbs and adverbials in the Romance languages that are formed after the pattern „preposition + adjective“ (P+A), like e.g. Italian di certo, Spanish de seguro, French à la dure, Portuguese de novo or Rumanian cu derept. The project is structured as follows: in a synchronic part, today’s adverbial variation and the impact of P+A forms is studied, while the diachronic part aims at documenting these forms through time and at tracing their development from Latin to the different Romance varieties spoken in the area known as Romania. Therefore not only historical corpora are exploited, the project also relies on diachronic reconstruction based on modern Romance varieties.
