The authors of the 27 chapters are specialists in their respective fields offering substantive and balanced accounts of the wider research context.The combination of perspectives from comparative Romance linguistics and typological linguistics within the multidisciplinary coverage of issues in classification, structural typology, language contact and variation makes this Manual of Romance Linguistics an essential guide to current research trends in those fields. It is written for both scholars and students of Romance linguistics and everyone interested in comparative and typological linguistics.
