'Morphophonological variation at word edges in Romance languages', funded
by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation) as part
of the Sonderforschungsbereich 471 'Variation and evolution in the lexicon'.

morphology and syntax serve as theoretical background. The languages under
investigation are Italian, Piemontese and Catalan.
