Abstract:

The Romance languages and dialects constitute a treasure trove of linguistic
data of profound interest and significance. Data from the Romance languages
have contributed extensively to our current empirical and theoretical
understanding of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and historical linguistics. Written by a team of
world-renowned scholars, this Handbook explores what we can learn about
linguistics from the study of Romance languages, and how the body of
comparative and historical data taken from them can be applied to linguistic
study. It also offers insights into the diatopic and diachronic variation
exhibited by the Romance family of languages, of a kind unparalleled for any
other Western languages. By asking what Romance languages can do for
linguistics, this Handbook is essential reading for all linguists interested
in the insights that a knowledge of the Romance evidence can provide for
general issues in linguistic theory.
