Steven N. Dworkin is Professor of Romance Linguistics and Linguistics at the University of Michigan. His books include Etymology and Derivational Morphology: The Genesis of Old Spanish Denominal Adjectives in -ido (Niemeyer, 1985); with David J. Billick, Lexical Studies of Medieval Spanish Texts (second edition Hispanic Seminary of Medieval Studies, 1993); and, co-edited with Dieter Wanner, New approaches to Old Problems: Issues in Romance Historical Linguistic (John Benjamins, 2000). He is the author of over eighty scholarly articles, many of which deal with lexical change in Spanish.

The scholarship in this book is, without question, of the highest calibre. This book will benefit greatly both advanced students and scholars of Spanish historical linguistics, and, as a pedagogical tool, could serve either as supplementary reading for a course on the history of the Spanish language or as the main text for a seminar on the topic for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
