title = "Chapter 2. Using linguistic atlases to explore syntactic issues The case of auxiliary selection in Catalan",
abstract = "Traditional linguistic atlases are not designed to collect data about syntactic variation. Nonetheless, it is possible to obtain from them information about particular syntactic issues, as I exemplify with the Atles Ling{\"u}{\'i}stic del Domini Catal{\`a}. This atlas offers evidence of the survival of the perfect auxiliary {\'e}sser {\textquoteleft}to be{\textquoteright} in some current Catalan varieties in the face of general replacement by haver {\textquoteleft}to have{\textquoteright}. These examples are discussed in the context of the changes that Catalan has undergone since the Middle Ages. We see that the residual presence of {\'e}sser varies from region to region and reflects different processes. However, in order to be precise it will be necessary to undertake a further data collection specifically focused on auxiliary selection.",
