Its analysis of both successful and failed changes demonstrates the degree of unpredictability caused by the interaction of competing factors and will shed fresh light on the assumed unidirectionality of linguistic change. Importantly, it reveals that Old Spanish and modern Spanish are more similar to one another than is usually supposed and demonstrates that many of the differences between the two varieties are quantitative rather than qualitative. This theoretically sophisticated examination of historical corpora will provide an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Old and modern Spanish, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics and syntax. Ian E. Mackenzie is Professor of Spanish Linguistics at Newcastle University, UK. He is the author of seven books, as well as numerous articles in the fields of syntax, semantics and diachronic linguistics. 001359869 650_0 $$aGrammar, Comparative and general. 001359869 650_0 $$aLinguistic change. 001359869 650_0 $$aRomance languages. 001359869 650_0 $$aLinguistics. 001359869 650_0 $$aSociolinguistics. 001359869 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001359869 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030105662 001359869 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030105686 001359869 852__ $$bebk 001359869 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-10567-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001359869 887__ $$aP291-298 001359869 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1359869$$pGLOBAL_SET 001359869 980__ $$aBIB 001359869 980__ $$aEBOOK 001359869 982__ $$aEbook 001359869 983__ $$aOnline 001359869 994__ $$a92$$bISE
