Although it is intended for the nonspecialist, students of Romance philology will find it useful as a ready reference and as a source of abundant examples of Latin sound changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe synopsis is presented in the form of separate alphabetical charts for each major sound change. The rules, stated as simply as possible, do not generally explain the evolution of the changes, but only the end results. For those desiring further information, there are notes after most rules outlining exceptions to or modifications of that rule and often sketching successive stages in the development of the sound. Several minor or sporadic sound changes are also treated in note form. Each chart is supplemented by a list of additional words illustrating the same sound change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  Abbreviations and some basic terminology  The phonetic alphabet  Synopsis of Vulgar Latin  A synopsis of the origin and development of French sibilants  A synopsis of the origin and development of Spanish sibilants  A survey of the phonetic characteristics of Peninsular Portuguese  RULES  Table of Cross References  Answers to the Exercises  Glossary of linguistic terminology  Selected bibliography\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Georgetown University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039026512215,"sku":"9780878400775","price":43.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780878400775.jpg?v=1750942321","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-latin-to-romance-in-sound-charts-9780878400775","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
