About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The editor aims to provide insight into both diachronic and synchronic linguistics, not only of Old French, but of language in general. All examples are glossed and the relevant characteristics of Old French are clearly explained, in order to direct the book not only at linguists and graduate students who specialize in Old French, but also at linguists who conduct research in historical linguistics in other languages … . This is a book that will be gratefully used by many scholars and researchers … .” (Catharina Peersman, The Linguist List, September, 2013)Editors and Affiliations
