Although the Germanic and Romance languages are two branches of the same language family and both have developed the adjective as a separate syntactic and morphological category, the syntax, morphology and interpretation of adjectives is by no means the same in these two language groups and there is even variation within each of the language groups. One of the main aims of this volume is to map the differences and similarities in syntactic behavior, morphology and meaning of the Germanic and Romance adjective, and to find an answer to the question: are the (dis)similarities the result of autonomous development in each of the two branches of the Indo-European language family or are they caused by language contact?
