Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the distinct dialect of Aragonese as spoken in medieval Spain, with references to how it is used in Upper Aragon in the present day. The author shows how Aragonese developed its own unique characteristics, separate from Castilian Spanish. By looking at texts and documents written in Aragonese from the 13th century onwards, including a detailed analysis of an extract from the Grant Cronica de los Conquiridores, the book reveals a complex and fascinating evolution of the language. This book will be of great interest to anyone who is studying the regional languages of medieval Spain, or for those interested in the history of the Aragonese language.
