This volume contains a selection of nineteen peer-reviewed papers from the 40th annual Lingujistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL) held at the University of Washington in March 2010. In addition to overviews of Romance linguistics given by the editor and the keynote article, contributions cover a variety of topics in the areas of morphophonology, syntax and semantic interfaces that treat Old and Modern French, Italian, Romanian and several dialects of Spanish and Portuguese. A number of leitmotifs tie the volume topic-wise as well as language-wise, and several articles present previously unexplored phenomena. A number of papers deal with the morphophonology of Peninsular Spanish languages, agreement anomalies, generic interpretation, and the syntax/semantics of determiners, particularly of Romanian. The volume makes significant contributions both to the documentation of Romance languages and to linguistic theory, and will be of interest to Romance and general linguistics scholars.
