| Summary: | The Oxford guide to the romance languages is the most exhaustive treatment of the Romance languages available today. Leading international scholars adopt a variety of theoretical frameworks and approaches to offer a detailed structural examination of all the individual Romance varieties and Romance-speaking areas, including standard, non-standard, dialectal and regional varieties of the Old and New Worlds. The book also offers a comprehensive comparative account of major topics, issues and case studies across different areas of the grammar of the Romance languages. The volume is organized into ten thematic parts. Parts 1 and 2 deal with the making of the Romance languages and their typology and classification, respectively. Part 3 is devoted to individual structural overviews of Romance languages, dialects and linguistic areas, while Part 4 provides comparative overviews of Romance phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics and sociolinguistics. Chapters in Parts 5-9 examine issues in Romance phonology, morphology, syntax, syntax and semantics and pragmatics and discourse, respectively, while the final part contains case studies of topics in the nominal group, verbal group and the clause. The book will be an essential resource for both Romance specialists and everyone with an interest in Indo-European and comparative linguistics. |
