Chapter 1 outlines the main research questions of the book, namely identifying a detailed map of verb movement across a wide selection of (non-)standard Romance varieties and showing that much more variation is attested than traditionally assumed. In order to achieve this goal, verb placement is tested with respect to a number of hierarchically ordered adverbs, as mapped by Cinque (1999), and taking into account not only present indicative lexical verbs, but also different verb typologies. Before proceeding with the investigation, a number of assumptions are presented, such as the methodological ones (e.g. the intonational and scope requirements of the tested adverbs), the theoretical ones (e.g. hybrid cartographic-minimalist framework), as well as some comments on the method of data collection (cf. guided translation task with native speakers).
