Binder, Larissa and Elisabeth Stark 2023 Differential object marking in French: Myth or reality?Differential Object Marking in Romance: Towards microvariation, Irimia, Monica Alexandrina and Alexandru Mardale (eds.), pp. 56–84 | Chapter
This study is dedicated to the question whether French possesses (optional) DOM, i.e. direct object marking, which it answers in a negative way. French is traditionally considered to lack a differential marker for the direct object (cf. e.g. Körner, 1987). However, Fagard and Mardale (2014)… read more

Our contribution is dedicated to the empirical testing of alleged regional variants of object clitic clusters in modern French in France, Belgium and Switzerland. We provide some intriguing new insights into the regional distribution of non-standard variants and discuss one hypothesis on their… read more
Stark, Elisabeth and Aurélia Robert-Tissot 2017 Subject drop in Swiss French text messagesRegister Variation and Syntactic Theory, Massam, Diane and Tim Stowell (eds.), pp. 251–271 | Article
In this paper, we present evidence in favour of a syntactic approach to subject drop in Swiss French text messages. Subject drop in our corpus follows patterns found in various so-called "written abbreviated registers" such as diaries, notes etc.: it occurs at the beginning of main sentences and… read more
Stark, Elisabeth 2014 Negation marking in French text messagesSMS Communication: A linguistic approach, Cougnon, Louise-Amélie and Cédrick Fairon (eds.), pp. 191–215 | Article
This study investigates the drop of the first clitic element, ne, of French sentential negation. It is based on 4,628 French text messages taken from the newly established corpus sms4science.ch. It shows that regional or stylistic factors do not play a major role in triggering ne deletion or ne… read more

This study investigates the graphical realization of clitic subjects in about 4600 French text messages taken from the Swiss corpus of text messages 〈www.sms4science.ch〉. It analyzses different spelling strategies against the background of the present debate concerning the (still) argumental or… read more

This paper aims at adequately analyzing and classifying an important functional change inside the Spanish pronominal system. This system seems to formally preserve forms of the Latin neuter, which now have the very specialized function of denoting non-individuated referents, one of the whole set of… read more

This paper discusses divergences and significant typological correlations found in the family of Romance languages, specifically French, Italian and Spanish. It proposes to reinterpret the complex system of indefinite nominal determination in two central Romance languages, viz. French and Italian,… read more
