The present volume presents scholarly study into Old French as it
is practiced today, in all of its forms, within a variety of
theoretical frameworks, from Optimality Theory to Minimalism to
Discourse Analysis. Many of the chapters are corpus-based,
reflecting a new trend in the field, as more electronic corpora
become available. The chapters contribute to our understanding of
both the synchronic state and diachronic evolution, not only of Old
French, but of language in general. Its breadth is extensive in
that contributors pursue research on a wide variety of topics in
Old French focusing on the various subsystems of language. All
examples are carefully glossed and the relevant characteristics of
Old French are clearly explained, which makes it uniquely
accessible to non-specialists and linguists at all levels of
training. "
