The yearly 'Going Romance' meetings feature research in formal linguistics of Romance languages, mainly in the domains of morphology, syntax, and semantics, and, to a certain extent, phonology. This volume brings together a peer-reviewed selection of papers that were presented at the 21st meeting (Amsterdam, 2007) in the general session and the one-day workshop on the acquisition of word order and information structure.
