Description
Ti Alkire and Carol Rosen explore how spoken Latin evolved into five distinct Romance languages: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian. The authors examine the changes in phonology and morphology that occurred as regional varieties of speech developed under different influences, leading to new grammatical patterns. This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to the history of the Romance languages, including exercises and reliable information for both newcomers and specialists.
