A la recherche du protoroman

Das Werk untersucht, wie das diachrone Studium der romanischen Sprachen mit Hilfe der historischen Komparatistik und des Protoromanischen heutzutage bewerkstelligt werden kann. Es umfaßt eine methodologische Einführung (Kapitel 1) und zwei Kapitel, worin je ein syntaktisches Problem nach dieser Methode beschrieben und erklärt wird; es geht dabei um den Platz von Subjekt und Verbum in Nebensätzen und um den Platz von zwei kombinierten tonlosen Objektpronomen.

Klappentext

This volume investigates how the diachronic study of the Romance languages can be undertaken with the help of comparative historical linguistics and Proto-Romance. It comprises a methodological introduction (Chapter 1) and two further chapters, each dealing with a specific syntactic problem described and explained via the method set out previously. The questions broached are the position of subject and verb in subordinate clauses, and the position of two combined toneless object pronouns.
