The special issue offers an up-to-date, critical description of Romance compounds. The papers are theoretically aware and discuss various crucial issues for morphological theory. Authors have been asked to follow a scheme of issues to be addressed, for the sake of homogeneity and comparability. The issue is made of seven papers, each of which is devoted to a specific language: Catalan (by Elisenda Bernal), French (by Florence Villoing), Italian (by Francesca Masini & Sergio Scalise), Latin (by Luisa Brucale), Portuguese (by Graça Rio-Torto & Sílvia Ribeiro), Romanian (by Maria Grossmann) and Spanish (by Emiliano R. Guevara). The issue is a product of the following projects on compounding coordinated by Sergio Scalise in the last years, namely: Morbo/Comp, funded by the Department of Foreign Modern Languages and Literatures of the University of Bologna, and CompoNet, a PRIN project funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).

Abstract
The special issue offers an up-to-date, critical description of Romance compounds. The papers are theoretically aware and discuss various crucial issues for morphological theory. Authors have been asked to follow a scheme of issues to be addressed, for the sake of homogeneity and comparability. The issue is made of seven papers, each of which is devoted to a specific language: Catalan (by Elisenda Bernal), French (by Florence Villoing), Italian (by Francesca Masini & Sergio Scalise), Latin (by Luisa Brucale), Portuguese (by Graça Rio-Torto & Sílvia Ribeiro), Romanian (by Maria Grossmann) and Spanish (by Emiliano R. Guevara). The issue is a product of the following projects on compounding coordinated by Sergio Scalise in the last years, namely: Morbo/Comp, funded by the Department of Foreign Modern Languages and Literatures of the University of Bologna, and CompoNet, a PRIN project funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
