From Latin to Romance - Ledgeway, Adam (Professor of Italian and Romance Linguistics, Professor of Italian and Romance Linguistics, Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages, University of Cambridge)

This book examines grammatical changes during the transition from Latin to the Romance languages and the factors proposed to explain them. It challenges orthodoxy, presents new perspectives on language change, structure, and variation, and will appeal equally to Romance linguists, Latinists, philologists, and historical linguists of all persuasions.
