The Enciclopedia de Linguistica Hispánica provides comprehensive coverage of the major and subsidiary fields of Spanish linguistics. Entries are extensively cross-referenced and arranged alphabetically within three main sections:Part 1 covers linguistic disciplines, approaches and methodologies. Part 2 brings together the grammar of Spanish, including subsections on phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Part 3 brings together the historical, social and geographical factors in the evolution of Spanish. Drawing on the expertise of a wide range of contributors from across the Spanish-speaking world the Enciclopedia de Linguistica Hispánica is an indispensable reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Spanish, and for anyone with an academic or professional interest in the Spanish language/Spanish linguistics.

The studies assembled in this volume in honor of József Herman address the main areas on which his research has concentrated: the evolution of classical and post-classical Latin, the emergence of the Romance languages, and (from this perspective) more general problems of diachronic linguistics. Over and above the individual problems addressed here in detail, the articles (grouped thematically) outline the concerns of the disciplines involved and establish the present state of research on a number of the issues discussed. Most of the authors have chosen a historical approach, but this does not exclude typological considerations. The collection as a whole is slanted toward the sources of knowledge of vulgar and late Latin and to various questions of syntax and style.
