This book offers an original account of the dynamics of syntactic
change and the evolving structure of Old Spanish that combines
rigorous manuscript-based investigation, quantitative analysis and
a syntactic approach grounded in Minimalist thinking. Its analysis
of both successful and failed changes demonstrates the degree of
unpredictability caused by the interaction of competing factors and
will shed fresh light on the assumed unidirectionality of
linguistic change. Importantly, it reveals that Old Spanish and
modern Spanish are more similar to one another than is usually
supposed and demonstrates that many of the differences between the
two varieties are quantitative rather than qualitative. This
theoretically sophisticated examination of historical corpora will
provide an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Old and
modern Spanish, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics and
syntax.
