Abstract: On the Use of Complementisers in Istro-Romanian. This article deals with the description of certain aspects of the complementiser system in Istro-Romanian (hereinafter IR), a severely endangered Romance variety. The prototypical IR complementisers are ke (‘that’), neca (subjunctive marker), and in rarer occurrences se (‘that/if’). Their main features are their high degree of heterogeneity, as well as their occurrence in various syntactic configurations that either makes IR pattern with Daco-Romanian (its closest sister), or sets IR apart across Romance. Our analysis is carried out on a corpus made of: Traian Cantemir’s Texte istroromâne (data collected during 1932-1933), Sextil Pușcariu’s Studii istroromâne. Texte I (1906-1926), Sârbu, R., V. Frățilă’s Dialectul istroromân (1982-1996). Among the situations at which we will take a closer look, we should mention the occurrence of the complementiser ke ‘that’ in places where Daco-Romanian and other Romance varieties would not use it or would use it differently.

Keywords: Istro-Romanian syntax, (Eastern) Romance dialectology, IR complementisers, word order
