Abstract:

This volume contains 17 studies on historical Romance linguistics within a
variety of current theoretical frameworks; it includes studies on
phonology, morphology and syntax, focusing solely or comparatively on all
five 'major' Romance languages: French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and
Spanish. An introduction by the eminent Romance Linguist Jürgen
Klausenburger addresses the fit of these studies in the overall development
of the field of historical Romance linguistics since the 19th century. The
studies in this volume demonstrate an organic link between Malkiel's (1961)
'classic' definition of Romance linguistics and the field of Romance
linguistics today, because just as scholars of the field in the 19th
century successfully applied the dominant paradigm of (historical)
linguistics of their time, Neogrammarian theory, so do the authors
contained in the present volume avail themselves of current linguistic
advances to achieve equally significant results.
