Summary: The studies on Romance languages evolution links erosion of the casual system, the increase of the use of prepositions, a more rigid word order and the appearance of definite and indefinite articles. This last phenomenon constitutes clear evidence of the emergence of the functional projection D(eterminer) P(hrase). This paper seeks to investigate the causes and effects of the emergence of this functional category in the nominal structure of the Romance languages, especially as regards the position of the articles in the DP. The combination of the theoretical proposals with the data analyzed points to the emergence of DP as a phenomenon of split of nominal inflection and to the placement of the definite articles in AgrP.

Este último fenómeno, por sua vez, constitui uma clara prova da emergência da projeção funcional D(eterminer) P(hrase). Este trabalho procura averiguar as causas e efeitos da emergência da referida categoria funcional na estrutura nominal das línguas românicas, especialmente no que toca à posição dos artigos no sintagma. A combinação das propostas teóricas com os dados analisados aponta para a emergência de DP como um fenómeno de fragmentação da flexão nominal e para a colocação dos artigos definidos em AgrP.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2022-07-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/letras/article/view/4310610.5902/2176148543106Letras; n. 60: (jun. 2020) - Línguas românicas em diacronia: teorias, métodos e análises; 201-2222176-14851519-3985reponame:Letras (Santa Maria.
