Einführung in Das Altspanische - Paperback

by Stefan Barme (Author)

This introduction to Medieval Spanish, or Old Spanish, closes a long-standing gap in the literature. Focusing on the internal history of the Spanish language, it traces its phonetic, grammatical, and lexical development from classical and vulgar Latin to Medieval Spanish. The characteristics of the Old Spanish language are also illustrated through a presentation and commentary of suitable text excerpts that represent its different stages of development.
