Bilingualism and Linguistic Conflict in Romance
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary 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 different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
Manual of Galician Linguistics
The Manual of Galician Linguistics provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the current situation of the Galician language and introduces its readers to the most important topics of current linguistic research on Galician. Thevolume includes chapters covering diachronic and synchronic descriptions of all main areas of language structure (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicology), as well chapters on social and regional variation, language contact, sociolinguistics, language variation and other interesting areas of linguistic research. Rich in descriptive details and grounded in modern linguistic theory, this manual will be an essential research tool for students and researchers who are interested in the Galician language and in Romance linguistics. The preparation of this work has been partially funded through grants from the Ministerio de Cultura of the Government of Spain to the Instituto da Lingua Galega, and from the Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Universidade of the Xunta de Galicia to the research group Filoloxía e Lingüística Galega of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (ED431C 2021/20).
Manual of Romance Phonetics and Phonology
This handbook is structured in two parts: it provides, on the one hand, a comprehensive (synchronic) overview of the phonetics and phonology (including prosody) of a breadth of Romance languages and focuses, on the other hand, on central topics of research in Romance segmental and suprasegmental phonology, including comparative and diachronic perspectives. Phonetics and phonology have always been a core discipline in Romance linguistics: the wide synchronic variety of languages and dialects derived from spoken Latin is extensively explored in numerous corpus and atlas projects, and for quite a few of these varieties there is also more or less ample documentation of at least some of their diachronic stages. This rich empirical database offers excellent testing grounds for different theoretical approaches and allows for substantial insights into phonological structuring as well as into (incipient, ongoing, or concluded) processes of phonological change. The volume can be read both as a state-of-the-art report of research in the field and as a manual of Romance languages with special emphasis on the key topics of phonetics and phonology.
The Enlightened Mind: Education in the Long Eighteenth Century
The rise of Enlightenment philosophical and scientific thought during the long eighteenth century in Europe and North America (c. 1688-1815) sparked artistic and political revolutions, reframed social, gender, and race relations, reshaped attitudes toward children and animals, and reconceptualized womanhood, marriage, and family life. The meaning of “education” at this time was wide-ranging and access to it was divided along lines of gender, class, and race. Learning happened in diverse environments under the tutelage of various teachers, ranging from bourgeois mothers at home, to Spanish clergy, to nature itself. The contributors to this cross-disciplinary volume weave together methods ...
Contacte i contrast de llengües i dialectes
Tal com reflecteix el títol, aquest llibre s’ocupa de diversos aspectes de la relació del català amb les llengües veïnes (castellà, aragonès, occità), siga per contacte, siga per contrast. Les seues pàgines il·lustren, entre altres aspectes, la interferència amb el castellà a través d’estudis sobre l’adopció i/o adaptació del fonema /x/ en els dialectes catalans (tipus navaca, navaixa, navaja), subratllen la importància de la presència aragonesa en l’àmbit valencià enfront de les imaginàries traces mossaràbigues (tema que s’il·lustra amb gemecar) i demostren la densitat dels occitanismes del rossellonès, entrats de bona hora i dels quals, encara, s’elaboren criteris per a identificar-los. D’altra banda, el contrast entre català i asturià, i català i gallec permet visualitzar les concomitàncies i discordances entre aquests sistemes lingüístics comparats. Aquesta obra és un complement imprescindible de les monografies que Joan Veny ha dedicat a la història de la llengua catalana i, en concret, a la dels seus dialectes.

Estudos de Linguística Histórica
Nesta obra reúne-se um conjunto de trabalhos que, diversos entre si, se agregam sob um mesmo tema e domínio de análise: a linguística histórica e os processos de mudança e de estandardização.
