These acts of the 1974 Congresso Internazionale di Linguistica e Filologia Romanza (Naples) were co-published by John Benjamins Publishing Company and Gaetano Macchiaroli. The five volumes are subdivided into sections by linguistic sub-fields. Vol. 1 contains the plenary papers and papers from the round tables. Volume 2 contains sections on I. General problems, II. Geographical linguistics and sociolinguistics, and III. Languages in contact. Volume 3 contains section IV. Grammar, subdivided into Phonology and phonetics, Morphology, and Syntax. Volume 4 contains sections V. Lexicology, VI. Semantics, and VII. Texts and languages. Volume 5 continues section VII. Texts and languages, and further includes sections VIII. Problems of philology, and IX. History of Romance Philology. The papers are written in Italian, French, and Spanish.

This nineteenth edition of LSRL proceedings contains a selection of papers on variety of Romance idioms and includes current topics in established areas of study. The phonology papers focus mostly on syllabic and higher-level prosodic structure. The morphology section deals primarily with compounding. The syntax contributions principally treat infinitival clauses, extraction phenomena, and binding. While synchronic data serve as the point of departure in most of the studies, historical perspectives are also considered in each major section. Included in the volume are two invited contributions, by Violeta Demonte (on linking and case with prepositional verbs) and Shana Poplack (on variation in the form and function of the subjunctive in Canadian French).
