This article proposes a Nanosyntactic Late-Insertion approach to root suppletion.

We show that this theory allows us to account for root suppletion

within a strictly modular theory of grammar, which makes no syntactic distinction

between different roots. As a starting point, we first focus on the

architectural difficulties that arise for a modular theory of roots in the Distributed

Morphology approach. We then show how Nanosyntax circumvents

these problems, and address two potential empirical issues for the Nanosyntactic

treatment (multiple exponence and locality), showing that they in fact

provide support for the approach proposed.

The relation holding between words and syntax is at the core of a lively debate. Two competing proposals have been advanced: the\ lexicalist\ view, claiming that the lexicon and the syntax are distinct modules of the grammar, and what we shall refer to as the\ constructionist\ view typically represented by models like Distributed Morphology, advocating for the redundancy of a notion such as the lexicon and arguing for no divide between syntax and word formation. By facing the debate from the privileged point of view of the mixed production of bimodal bilinguals (Italian \– Italian Sign Language), namely users of a sign and a vocal language simultaneously produced, we discuss the interaction of the two grammars at play with respect to their word order, morphology and phonology and draw some consequences relevant to the debate.
