Marker Proteins in Inflammation: Volume 2 Proceedings of the Second Symposium Lyon, France, June 27–30, 1983

Das Romanistische Jahrbuch (RJb) ist die einzige Fachzeitschrift, die regelmäßig über die Vertretung der romanistischen Sprach-, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft an den Universitäten Deutschlands und Österreichs informiert und neben den angenommenen Dissertationen und Habilitationen auch die an deutschsprachigen Universitäten in Bearbeitung befindlichen Dissertationsprojekte systematisch erfasst. Im wissenschaftlichen Teil werden im ersten Abschnitt – neben aktuellen Rezensionen – regelmäßig Aufsätze zu zentralen linguistischen und literaturwissenschaftlichen Fragen mit romanisch-vergleichender und/oder einzelsprachlicher Thematik veröffentlicht; die zweite Hälfte des RJb ist aktuellen Problemen der Iberoromanistik (Spanisch/Portugiesisch in und außerhalb Europas, Katalanisch) gewidmet.
