Publisher's Synopsis
This collected volume contains most of the papers delivered to the section on Language Change and Geographical (Dis-)Continuity at the XXIX German Conference of Romance Studies. Interest is focussed on examining the commonalities and differences in the development of different Romance languages and/or dialects, with a consideration of the problems surrounding spatial and temporal continuity and/or discontinuity always being taken as the starting point. At the same time, this allows a weighing up of the relationship between internal and contact-determined language change.
