This book provides the first comprehensive overview of the syntax
of old Romanian written in English and targeted at a non-Romanian
readership. It draws on an extensive new corpus analysis of the
period between the beginning of the sixteenth century, the date of
the earliest attested Romanian texts, and the end of the eighteenth
century, generally considered to mark the start of the
modernization of Romanian. Gabriela Pana Dindelegan and her
co-authors adopt both a synchronic and diachronic approach by
providing a detailed corpus analysis in a given period, while also
comparing old and modern Romanian. They examine the evolution of a
variety of syntactic phenomena, including the elimination or
diminishing of certain facts or generalization of others, the total
or partial grammaticalization of phenomena, competition between
structures, and cases of syntactic variation. The book takes a
typological and comparative perspective, focusing on those
phenomena that are considered specific to Romanian (either on the
Romance or in the Balkan area), and adopts a modern framework while
still remaining accessible to readers from any background.
