Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to Old French Phonology and Morphology, (Rewind and Enlarged)
This grammar is intended not only to introduce beginners to the study of Old French phonology and morphology from the historical point of view, but also to facilitate their progress to an advanced grammar.
The latter aim has governed the arrangement of the book, inasmuch as the author has endeavored to reproduce, even to the paragraph-notation, the arrangement of that advanced grammar which is by most teachers considered the best - the Grammatik des Altfranzosischen of Eduard Schwan and Dietrich Behrens. He trusts that he has thus made it possible for students to acquire, before beginning to use the Grammatik des Altfranzösischen, a lasting appreciation of its logicalness of structure, a quality which, in the Grammatik itself, is all but obscured by the complexities of detail unavoidable in an advanced grammar. Even after the step from the elementary to the advanced grammar, the former will perhaps be useful for a time, not only by its elucidations of difficult points, but also by its renderings into English of important technical terms. Thus students may be able to gain gradually, almost unconsciously, the ability to use a tool by means of which practically all the problems of Old French phonology and morphology can be solved.
The omission of an alphabetical index is intentional. It is essential that students shall thoroughly understand the structure of the elementary grammar, in order to understand, later, that of the Grammatik.
