The contributions analyze different non-canonical syntactic structures (fronting, inversion, dislocations, and cleft constructions), focusing on Italian alone or on Italian in a contrastive perspective with one or more Romance (French, Romanian, Portuguese, Spanish) and\/or Germanic (English and German) languages. The authors tackle the main issue of the volume from a variety of perspectives and by relying on different theoretical frameworks. At the same time, they all offer a fine-grained description of the structures analyzed on the basis of a solid empirical foundation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Manuel Leonetti: On Non-Focal Fronting in Italian and Spanish – Lunella Mereu: Obliques and the initial syntactic position – Dieter Vermandere\/Karen Lahousse: Verb-subject inversion in Romance; the other way round – Valeria Buttini: I am (not) scared of left dislocations.
