FWF number: P37209
Title: The Second Way: Prepositional adverbials in primary dialects of Romance
Funding amount: 650,000 euros
Funding body: Austrian Science Fund
Start: September 2024

The FWF project P37209 "The Second Way", based at the University of Graz and headed by Prof Dr Martin Hummel, brings together researchers from the Universities of Graz, Granada, Cluj-Napoca, Franche-Comté, Neuchâtel, Helsinki and Naples as well as the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn. The research focuses on the morphosyntactic, semantic and functional properties of adverbial prepositional phrases consisting of a preposition and an adjective and their adjective-adverb cognates in primary Romance dialects. Primary Romance dialects are Romance languages that developed directly from Latin and have not been developed into modern standard languages (such as Spanish, Italian or French). The dialects analysed are Mirandesian (Portugal), Asturian (Spain), Campanian and Sicilian (Italy), Franco-Provençal (Italy, Switzerland, France) and two Dacoromance dialects (Sarmizegetusa, Măguri-Răcătău) in Transylvania (Romania).
