How and why do changes happen when and where they do? Is it possible to explain
 changes that occurred centuries ago? These are the central questions addressed
 in this book, in which the author argues that the development of numerous
 features of medieval (and modern) Spanish can best be explained as the results
 of koineization, a process in which mixing among speakers of different dialects
 leads to the rapid formation of a new mixed and generally simplified variety.
 The book includes a complete introduction to koineization and detailed study of
 three stages of dialect mixing in medieval Spanish.

Donald N. Tuten is Assistant Professor at Emory University, Georgia, USA.
