| This study: questions and answers | |
| |
| |
| |
| What is the empirical and theoretically significance of working with SCLs in Piedmontese? | |
| |
| |
| |
| Why is a twofold approach adopted and what are the benefits of this choice? | |
| |
| |
| |
| What are the boundaries of each approach in the analysis proposed in this book? | |
