Class Description:: A study of the origins and development of the Ibero-Romance languages with emphasis on the evolution of Spanish, compared and contrasted with the other languages of the Iberian Peninsula. The general problem of linguistic change will be examined. Phonetic/phonological, and morphological issues will be studied in four stages: (1) Latin, (2) late Latin, (3) medieval Spanish, and (4) modern Spanish. Students taking this course must be familiar with articulatory phonetics terminology. For those students that do not meet this condition, the following reading is strongly recommended prior to taking the course: Antonio Quilis & Joseph Fernandez, "Curso de fonetica y fonologia espa?olas"Madrid: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, 1990, (ch 1-3,5-12). Elementary knowledge of classical Latin, although not required, will be highly beneficial. The target audience is graduate students. Required text: Paul M. Lloyd, "Del Latin al Espa?ol, Fonologia y morfologia historicas de la lengua espa?ola", Madrid: Gredos; as well as excerpts from various authors.
