The preceding two chapters have identified a substantial degree of continuity between the Dictionnaire’s LF and its Romance lexifiers in the domains of inflection and word formation. The present chapter continues this endeavor by focusing on LF’s syntax. Section 8.1 looks at the structure of the noun phrase, and Sections 8.2–8.6 examine, respectively, those of the copular, verbal, interrogative, and imperative clauses, and of complex sentences. The syntactic structures of LF are compared with the corresponding structures in one or both of its main lexifiers to demonstrate probable antecedents or parallels for the constructions and word order features seen in LF. In the concluding section, the structural features and developmental trends of the LF syntax are situated in relation to those of its Romance lexifiers.
