Gianollo's Indefinites between Latin and Romance is a perfect example of how theoretical hypotheses raise empirical questions whose answers, when pursued with rigorous methods, can ground more general and solid theoretical analyses. It is also an excellent case of how a multidisciplinary approach that brings together syntax, semantics and pragmatics on the theoretical side and corpus research, philology and the history of language on the empirical side can make breakthrough advances in our understanding of language. * Journal of Historical Syntax *
