The series Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) presents a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of Romance linguistics. It will comprise approximately 60 volumes that can either be consulted individually or used as a series of books providing a detailed overall picture of the current state of research in Romance linguistics. Special focus is placed on the presentation and analysis of the smaller languages, the linguae minores.

Inspired by the tradition of Romance etymological dictionaries such as the FEW and the LEI, and picking up on the paradigmatic debate recently raised by the DÉRom, the Manual of Romance Lexical Etymology presents research methods currently used in Romance etymology, differentiating between inherited lexicon, borrowings and internal creations. Focused on Romance linguistics, the manual also engages in dialogue with the field of general etymology.
