This book is a general introduction to the structures of the
different medieval Romance vernaculars most commonly known as Old
or Medieval Spanish, as preserved in texts from Spain from the
eleventh to the fifteenth centuries. After discussing general
methodological questions concerning the description and analysis of
an earlier historical stage of a modern language, the individual
chapters in the first part of the book describe the orthography,
phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary of
medieval Hispano-Romance. Steven N. Dworkin offers the first
systematic description of the language in English, and compares its
structures with those found in the modern variety. In the second
part of the book, the features of medieval Hispano-Romance are
exemplified in an anthology of selected texts, one from each of the
thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, accompanied by
linguistic commentary. The volume will be of interest to scholars
and students of Romance linguistics, Spanish historical
linguistics, and Spanish medieval literary and cultural studies.
