Description

Complex adverbials built with the pattern ‘Preposition + Adjective’, like Italian sul serio ‘seriously’ or Spanish sobre seguro ‘without risk’, display pan-Romanic consistency. Nevertheless, they have been largely neglected by research in grammar. The Third Way project on ‘Prepositional Adverbials from Latin to Romance’ intends to fill this gap. It subjects a selection of prepositional adverbials to a historico-varietal analysis in a comparative Pan-Romance approach to trace their continuity and variational trajectory, from Latin up to present-day usage. This project deliverable presents a template for the statistical processing of contemporary data drawn from eight Romance dialects, more exactly the tables used by the fieldworkers. It completes a questionnaire model (Wissner et al. 2020, 10.5281/zenodo.3922232), a test calculator developed for the statistical interpretation of linguistic data (Roy 2021) and forthcoming journal articles presenting the method developed for the realisation of enquiries and for statistical data processing.
