Publisher's Synopsis
Filling a major gap in the study of Ro-mance languages and linguistics, this unique reference-text will be of immense value to students and teachers who, up until now, have had to depend upon sepa-rate studies of independent languages. This new work combines Romance linguistics with the latest research in Span-ish sibilants, origins of Latin Ameri-can Spanish, Rhaeto-Romanic dialectics, French phonemes, and Brazilian Portu-guese. In addition, the book includes rep-resentative reading selections with exten-sive comparative passages and comprehen-sive bibliography.
