The Nanosyntax of Friulian Verbs - An Analysis of the Inflection Classes of the Present and Past in Tualis Friulian

The book investigates the present and past verb forms in the Friulian dialect spoken in Tualis. It provides both a detailed empirical description and a theoretical account of thirteen inflection classes in the Friulian verb system within the framework of Nanosyntax. The analysis also employs two recent innovations in the nanosyntactic paradigm: the consistent application of the subextracting Spellout Algorithm and Complex Left Branch trees. This approach captures the correct root-suffix pairing, root suppletion, syncretism, including ABA patterns.
