The Latin verb phrase: delimitation, internal structure and diachronic evolution

The project is concerned with the syntax of the Latin Verb Phrase and Tense Phrase, and in with particular the distribution of the verb, its arguments and functional elements like adverbs and negation. The research is based on a corpus of over 3.500.000 words, ranging from 350 BC to 550 AD. The theoretical background is that of generative syntax.
