Drawing on a wide range of philological and linguistic materials, Rodney Sampson provides for the first time a detailed comparative study tracing the rise and pattern of the evolution of nasal vowels in Romance; a family of language in which vowel nasalization has been richly represented. Developments across all the standard varieties and some non-standard varieties are considered, enabling broad characteristics of vowel nasalization in Romance to be identified.

Hardcover. Black cloth boards with gilt lettering; light blue dj with black lettering; mylar cover; xv, 413; bw maps. "This book provides a complete, comparative, non-gallocentric account of nasality across all the Romance languages, and demonstrates the central role which vowel nasalization has played in the history of sound change in this family of languages. It assembles a large amount of important philological and linguistic data previously dispersed and often difficult to access, organizing it in a way which allows a clear and revealing analysis of the developments examined." "This will be the standard work in its field for many years. It will be of central interest to linguists and philologists of Romance, as well as to those concerned more generally with understanding the causes, patterns, and processes of sound change."--Jacket.
