 | From Latin to Portuguese: Historical Phonology and Morphology of the Portuguese Language Widely recognized as the standard work in its field, this volume traces in systematic form the history of the development of the sounds and forms of the Portuguese language from its Latin beginnings. Based upon years of research and painstaking consideration of all the significant publications on the subject, it clarifies a great deal that has been obscure in the transition from Latin to Old Portuguese, to modern Portuguese, and to Brazilian Portuguese. It also helps resolve many of the complex problems of Spanish and general Romance philology. Edwin B. Williams was Dean of the Graduate School and Provost of the University of Pennsylvania. He was the author of An Introductory Portuguese Grammar, First Brazilian Grammar: A Course in Beginner's Portuguese, and Spanish and English Dictionary: Diccionario ingles y espanol. |
