Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

This book is a general introduction to the structures of the different
medieval Romance vernaculars most commonly known as Old or Medieval Spanish,
as preserved in texts from Spain from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries.
After discussing general methodological questions concerning the description
and analysis of an earlier historical stage of a modern language, the
individual chapters in the first part of the book describe the orthography,
phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary of medieval
Hispano-Romance. Steven N. Dworkin offers the first systematic description of
the language in English, and compares its structures with those found in the
modern variety. In the second part of the book, the features of medieval
Hispano-Romance are exemplified in an anthology of selected texts, one from
each of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, accompanied by
linguistic commentary. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students
of Romance linguistics, Spanish historical linguistics, and Spanish medieval
literary and cultural studies.
