Imposters and Secondary Sources in Italian
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter surveys a range of secondary source phenomena in the sense of Collins and Postal (2012) that are attested in Italian. It shows that while some classes of secondary sources (camouflage expressions, partitives, and subjects of predicative nominals in some idiolects and registers) pattern with their English counterparts in allowing non-third person agreement, in imposters this holds only of two items (il/la sottoscritto/a and il/la qui presente) that share some kind of participial morphology. This restriction is credited to a language specific constraint that interferes with the more liberal agreement system articulated by Collins and Postal (2012).
