DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is a general introduction to the structures of the different medieval Romance vernaculars most commonly known as Old or Medieval Spanish, as preserved in texts from Spain from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries. After discussing general methodological questions concerning the description and analysis of an earlier historical stage of a modern language, the individual chapters in the first part of the book describe the orthography, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary of medieval Hispano-Romance. Steven N. Dworkin offers the first systematic description of the language in English, and compares its structures with those found in the modern variety. In the second part of the book, the features of medieval Hispano-Romance are exemplified in an anthology of selected texts, one from each of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, accompanied by linguistic commentary. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of Romance linguistics, Spanish historical linguistics, and Spanish medieval literary and cultural studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Here is a manual for scholars of Old Spanish that departs from tradition in that it guides the reader through a minimal (and painless) course in the fundamentals of linguistics and Latin before discussing the evolution of Latin to Spanish. It also includes an excellent selection of early and medieval texts that clearly demonstrate the process of change that took place as the language of Caesar became Spanish.

As scholars know, it is unfortunately the case that many of the Old Spanish monuments have been published by editors who modernized their aspect. For scientific purposes their editions are, of course, very unsatisfactory. Therefore, in the present instance, care has been taken to print selections from editions which do not deform the historical conditions of the language. In the Introduction the more elementary matters of Spanish phonology are treated. The Notes are concerned with both linguistic and literary subjects. The Vocabulary has been made as complete as possible, and, in the discussion of certain points, supplements the Notes. Much yet remains to be done in the.
