What is the origin of the Romance languages and how did they
evolve? When and how did they become different from Latin, and from
each other? Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Romance
Languages offers fresh and original reflections on the principal
questions and issues in the comparative external histories of the
Romance languages. It is organised around the two key themes of
influences and institutions, exploring the fundamental influence,
of contact with and borrowing from, other languages (including
Latin), and the cultural and institutional forces at work in the
establishment of standard languages and norms of correctness. A
perfect complement to the first volume, it offers an external
history of the Romance languages combining data and theory to
produce new and revealing perspectives on the shaping of the
Romance languages.
