Abstract:
This volume presents specific topics in diachronic Hispanic linguistics. These
topics include: lexical survivals in Ibero-Romance, Arabisms, lexical
variation in early modern Spain, the origins of the confusion of b with v,
Andalusian Spanish in the Americas, the expansion of seseo and yeísmo,
processes of koineization, syntactic change in scribal documentation from the
Middle Ages, and the semantic changes of the verbs ser, estar and haber. It
provides a comprehensive analysis of the Spanish lexicon, phonetics,
morphosyntax, dialectology and semantics with the input of ten prominent
scholars.
It focuses not only on relevant issues in the evolution of Spanish but also
answers pertinent questions in the field such as: Why do we have Latin lexical
survivals in Ibero-Romance and not in other Romance languages? What kind of
social factors drove Arabic lexical borrowings? How did the advent of printing
affect the standardization of the lexicon and orthography? What are the main
theories to explain the confusion between b and v? How relevant was the role
of the Andalusian dialect in the general historical evolution of Spanish in
the Americas? What were the main social and demographic influences operating
in the development of Spanish during the colonial period? How accurately did
scribal practices represent the speech of the Middle Ages? How did ser
(ESSERE), estar (STARE) and haber (HABERE) develop differently in Romance
languages?

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
