Abstract

generativa", in 2007 at its 33rd edition, started in the 70's as an informal meeting for Italian scholars working on this, at time quite new, grammatical approach. Evolved into an important international meeting at the beginning of the 90s, it has since then remained a significant moment of debate for scholars interested in formalization in grammar. The proceedings here collected are just a part of the talks given at the 33rd Incontro, held in Bologna from 1 st to 3 rd March 2007. The talks there presented were numerous and ranged over a wide varieties of fields of research in grammar: not only those that we could call 'traditional' as phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics, but also language acquisition and pathology have been taken into account. Contributions in these proceedings, even though limited in number, are an excellent example of richness in contemporary linguistics research and evidence of the attraction that formal linguistics holds on young researchers, which a part of relations was reserved for. We have chosen to divide this collection into subject fields: phonology, morphology, syntax and language acquisition.
