About this title

Synopsis

This study is an attempt to furnish data for our knowledge of Vulgar Latin culled from the vocalism of Latin Christian inscriptions, particularly of the funeral type, found in those areas of the Western Roman world where Romance speech developed, and to shed some light, by means of a comparative study, on the controversial issue as to whether linguistic features that differentiate Romance languages and dialects correspond to dialectal differences already in existence.
