Manuals of Romance Linguistics
The new international handbook series Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) will
offer an extensive, systematic and state-of-the-art overview of linguistic research in
theentirefieldofpresent-dayRomanceStudies.
MRL aims to update and expand the contents of the two major reference works
available to date: Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (LRL) (1988–2005,vol. 1–8)
and Romanische Sprachgeschichte (RSG) (2003–2008, vol. 1–3). It will also seek to
integrate new research trends as well as topics that have not yet been explored
systematically.
Given that a complete revision of LRL and RSG would not be feasible, at least
not in a sensible timeframe, the MRL editors have opted for a modular approach
thatismuchmoreflexible:
The series will include approximately 60 volumes (each comprised of approx.
400–600 pages and 15–30 chapters). Each volume will focus on the most central
aspects of its topic in a clear and structured manner. As a series, the volumes will
covertheentirefieldofpresent-dayRomanceLinguistics,buttheycanalsobeused
individually. Given that the work on individual MRLvolumes will be nowhere near
as time-consuming as that on a major reference work in the style of LRL, it will be
much easier to take into account even the most recent trends and developments in
linguisticresearch.
MRL’s languages of publication are French, Spanish, Italian, English and, in
exceptional cases,Portuguese.Eachvolumewillconsistently bewritteninonlyone
oftheselanguages.Ineachcase,thechoiceoflanguagewilldependonthespecific
topic. English will be used for topics that are of more general relevance beyond the
fieldofRomanceStudies(forexampleManualofLanguageAcquisitionorManualof
RomanceLanguagesintheMedia).
The focus of each volume will be either (1) on one specific language or (2) on
one specific research field. Concerning volumes of the first type, each of the
Romance languages – including Romance-based creoles – will be discussed in a
separatevolume.Aparticularlystrongfocuswillbeplacedonthesmallerlanguages
(linguae minores) that other reference works have not treated extensively. MRLwill
comprise volumes on Friulian, Corsican, Galician,Vulgar Latin, among others, as
wellasaManualofJudaeo-RomanceLinguisticsandPhilology.Volumesofthesecond
type will be devoted to the systematic presentation of all traditional and new fields
of Romance Linguistics, with the research methods of Romance Linguistics being
discussed in a separate volume. Dynamic new research fields and trends will yet
again be of particular interest, because although they have become increasingly
important in both research and teaching, older reference works have not dealt with
thematallortoucheduponthemonlytangentially.MRLwillfeaturevolumesdedi-
cated to research fields such as Grammatical Interfaces,Youth Language Research,
VI ManualsofRomanceLinguistics
Urban Varieties, Computational Linguistics, Neurolinguistics, Sign Languages or
ForensicLinguistics.Eachvolumewillofferastructuredandinformative,easy-to-read
overviewofthehistoryofresearchaswellasofrecentresearchtrends.
We are delighted that internationally-renowned colleagues from a variety of
Romance-speaking countries and beyond have agreed to collaborate on this series
and take on the editorship of individual MRL volumes. Thanks to the expertise of
the volume editors responsible for the concept and structure of their volumes, as
well as for the selection of suitable authors, MRL will not only summarize the
current state of knowledge in Romance Linguistics, but will also present much new
informationandrecentresearchresults.
Asawhole,theMRLserieswillpresentapanoramaofthedisciplinethatisboth
extensiveandup-to-date, providing interesting andrelevant information anduseful
orientation for every reader, with detailed coverage of specific topics as well as
general overviews of present-day Romance Linguistics. We believe that the series
will offer a fresh, innovative approach, suited to adequately map the constant
advancementofourdiscipline.
