Opis

What is the origin of the Romance languages? How did they become different from Latin, and from each other?

Recenzje

'This second volume of the Cambridge History perfectly complements the first, providing the historical and geographical context within which the structures of the Romance languages emerged and developed. Together they provide an invaluable resource, summarizing the results of centuries of scholarship on the family for the specialist and making it accessible to a wide audience of general linguists as well.' Stephen R. Anderson, Yale University
