Language change as a result of language contact is studied in many different ways using a number of different methodologies. This article provides an overview of the main approaches to syntactic change in contact (CIC), focusing on the Romance language group. Romance languages are widely documented both synchronically and diachronically. They have been in extensive contact with other language families both in bilingual contexts and in creolization contexts. Furthermore, they present great microvariation. They are therefore ideal to tackle language change in contact. Given the breadth of studies targeting Romance languages in contact, only a selection of facts is considered here, namely pro-drop, differential object marking (DOM), and deixis. The article shows that microcontact, i.e., contact between minimally different grammars, is a necessary dimension to be considered within contact studies, as it provides insights that are often radically different from those provided by the observation of contact between maximally different languages. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Linguistics, Volume 7 is January 14, 2021. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

联系中的句法变化：浪漫

语言接触导致的语言变化被使用多种不同的方法以多种不同的方式进行研究。本文概述了接触中句法变化 (CIC) 的主要方法，重点关注浪漫语言组。罗曼语语言被广泛记录在同步和历时。他们在双语环境和克里奥尔语环境中与其他语系有广泛的联系。此外，它们呈现出很大的微变。因此，它们是解决接触中语言变化的理想选择。鉴于针对接触浪漫语言的研究范围很广，这里只考虑了一些事实，即 pro-drop、差分对象标记 (DOM) 和指示语。文章表明，微接触，即最小不同语法之间的接触，是联系研究中需要考虑的一个必要维度，因为它提供的见解通常与观察最大不同语言之间的联系所提供的见解完全不同。《语言学年度评论》第 7 卷的预计最终在线出版日期为 2021 年 1 月 14 日。有关修订后的估计，请参阅 http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
