perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes
state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across

perspective. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for
cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in
its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards
linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as
well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for
a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the
ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes
monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes,
which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from

What is French and how has it changed over time? Can we distinguish
language history from historical linguistics, and language change
from linguistic change? These questions are explored using copious
material from the history of the French language, concentrating on
changes in the relatively modern period in particular. Posner
explains how change comes about and how changes at different levels
of language interact, and the role of sociological and ideological
factors is set against the internal mechanisms that trigger change.
This work makes a substantial contribution to the theory of
linguistic change, as well as to discussion of the relationship
between language and history in French-speaking areas, including
Canada and French Creole-speaking countries.
What is a Romance language? How is it related to other Romance languages, how did they all evolve, and what can they tell us about language in general? In this comprehensive survey Rebecca Posner, a distinguished Romance specialist, examines this group of languages from a wide variety of perspectives. Her analysis combines philological expertise with insights drawn from modern theoretical linguistics, and relates linguistic features to historical and sociological factors. Her discussion is extensively illustrated with new and original data, and an up-to-date and comprehensive bibliography is included.
