Manual of Grammatical Interfaces in Romance (Manuals of Romance Linguistics) (Manuals of Romance Linguistics, 10)

La collection Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) a l'ambition de pr�senter un panorama d'ensemble de la linguistique romane tenant compte des derniers acquis de la recherche. Elle comprendra une soixantaine de volumes qui pourront �tre utilis�s s�par�ment tout en offrant dans leur totalit� une bonne approche globale de l'�ventail actuel de la linguistique romane. L'accent sera mis en particulier sur les linguae minores auxquelles les deux grands ouvrages de r�f�rences de la discipline, le �Dictionnaire de la linguistique romane� ( Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik , 1988-2005) et l'�Histoire des langues romanes� ( Romanische Sprachgeschichte , 2003-2008), n'avaient pu, pour des raisons bien compr�hensibles, accorder qu'une place relativement restreinte. La serie Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) se propone ofrecer una visi�n completa y actualizada de la ling��stica rom�nica. Esta serie se compone de alrededor de 60 vol�menes aut�nomos. Cada volumen puede usarse de manera independiente, pero tomados todos en su conjunto ofrecen una visi�n del espectro actual de la ling��stica rom�nica. Una atenci�n especial se presta en esta ocasi�n a las linguae minores , a las que inevitablemente se dedic� menos espacio en las dos anteriores grandes obras de la disciplina, el Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (1988-2005) y la Romanische Sprachgeschichte (2003-2008). La collana Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) si propone di offrire un aggiornamento sistematico sui pi� recenti sviluppi degli studi di linguistica romanza. I ca. 60 volumi di cui si compone sono a s� stanti e consultabili singolarmente, e tuttavia, se usati complessivamente, permettono una visione d'insieme dell'attuale spettro di ricerca nella linguistica romanza. Uno degli accenti pi� rilevanti � l'attenzione per le cosiddette linguae minores , alle quali, per forza di cose, � stato concesso poco spazio nelle due grandi opere della disciplina, il Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (1988-2005) e la Romanische Sprachgeschichte (2003-2008).

I ca. 60 volumi di cui si compone sono a sé stanti e consultabili singolarmente, e tuttavia, se usati complessivamente, permettono una visione d'insieme dell'attuale spettro di ricerca nella linguistica romanza.

The series Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) aims to present a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of Romance linguistics. It will comprise approximately 60 volumes that can either be consulted individually or used as a series of books providing a detailed overall picture of the current state of research in Romance linguistics. A special focus will be placed on the presentation and analysis of the smaller languages, the linguae minores, which the two older reference works of the discipline, Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (1988–2005) and Romanische Sprachgeschichte (2003–2008) did not discuss in detail, as well as on current research trends. A full list of volumes published or to appear shortly can be found under the tab "Volumes".

It has been under debate what the actual range of interaction is and how we can most appropriately represent this in grammatical theory. The volume provides a general overview of various topics in the linguistics of Romance languages by examining them through the interaction of grammatical components and functions as a state-of-the-art report, but at the same time as a manual of Romance languages.
