This book examines the grammatical changes that took place in the transition from        Latin to the Romance languages. The emerging language underwent changes in three        fundamental areas involving the noun phrase, verb phrase, and the sentence. The        impact of the changes can be seen in the reduction of the Latin case system; the        appearance of auxiliary verb structures to mark such categories tense, mood, and        voice; and a shift towards greater rigidification of word order. The authorconsiders        how far these changes are interrelated and compares their various manifestations and        pace of change across the different standard and non-standard varieties of Romance.          He describes the historical background to the emergence of the Romance varieties and        their Latin ancestry, considering in detailthe richly documented diachronic        variation exhibited by the Romance family.Adam Ledgeway reviews the accounts and        explanations that have been proposed within competing theoretical frameworks, and        considers how far traditional ideas should be reinterpreted in light of recent        theoretical developments. His wide-ranging account shows that the transition from        Latin to Romance is not only of great intrinsic interest, but both provides a means        of challenging linguistic orthodoxies and presents opportunities to shape new        perspectives on language change, structure, andvariation. His fascinating book will        appeal equally to Romance linguists, Latinists, philologists, historical linguists,        and syntacticians of all theoretical persuasions.
