Morphologists of different backgrounds disagree with respect to the degree of autonomy of the morphological component of language from syntax and semantics. A precise and objective quantification of the diachronic productivity of Romance morphomes is the piece of evidence most crucially missing from this debate. On the basis of 502 morphophonological innovations associated with the loss of stem-final consonants across 63 Romance varieties, this paper quantifies the degree of productivity of different morphomes (the N pattern is found to be the most productive one) and of morphomic templates generally (15% of novel stem alternations are found to abide by them). Although a strong attraction effect is detectable for morphomes, the numbers suggest that the morphological autonomy and longevity of stem alternations in the family might have been somewhat overstated. For an optimal account of the morphological innovations observed, reference to inherited morphomic structure, semantic structure, and to frequency of use are needed in similar proportions.

Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French

Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French showcases the most innovative research being done today on both the history and the sociolinguistics of the French language. It foregrounds in particular current research at the intersection of these two fields in historical sociolinguistics, a field which has seen significant recent growth. The research in the volume is all strongly data-centred, drawing on a wide range of both well-established and innovative theoretical and methodological approaches in order to open up new perspectives on the study of the French language in the twenty-first century. Particular emphasis is placed on combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, on diversifying tools, methods, and objects of inquiry, and on adopting comparative and multilingual perspectives where these shed new light on important questions relating to French. The volume therefore not only highlights the current state of the field in French linguistics but also the new directions in which the field is heading.
