In the next few months, I am going to review the following book for the LinguistList:
Amaral, Patrícia, and Delicado Cantero, Manuel. 2022. Noun-based constructions in the history of Portuguese and Spanish. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press.
I’m looking forward to receiving my copy and reading the book! Stay tuned! 🙂
My reviews of the following books have recently been published on the LINGUIST List website:
The presentations Cristiano Broccias and I jointly gave in Germany in the Summer of 2019 are eventually available (sorry for the delay!).

The new ‘Exploring Language(s)’ video is now online. It is the second part of a comparison between Spanish and Italian, two Romance languages whose differences are too often undervalued.

The links to all YouTube videos are listed in reverse chronological order here.
I will soon receive Masaru Kanetani’s new book ‘Causation and reasoning constructions’ (John Benjamins Publishing) and review it for the LINGUIST List. The book deals with the expression of causal relations and reasoning processes, which in some languages is realized by the same connective word (e.g., English ‘because,’ Japanese ‘kara’). I am looking forward to reading it. Stay tuned!
