Opis

This volume provides the first book-length study of the controversial topic of Verb Second and related properties in a range of Medieval Romance varieties. The findings have widespread implications for the understanding of both the key typological property of Verb Second and the development of Latin into the modern Romance languages.

Recenzje

The book is very well written, and the reasoning is very clear... Wolfe succeeds in providing a convincing analysis for verb-second order in medieval Romance, but also for deviations from this order.
