The Manuel de linguistique française provides a concise, critical overview of the historical foundations and the current situation of the French language and introduces its readers to the most important topics and questions of present-day linguistic research on French. Compared with other reference works currently available on the market, this manual provides a lot of additional and updated information.
The series Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) aims to present a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of Romance linguistics. It will comprise approximately 60 volumes that can either be consulted individually or used as a series of books providing a detailed overall picture of the current state of research in Romance linguistics. A special focus will be placed on the presentation and analysis of the smaller languages, the linguae minores , which the two older reference works of the discipline, Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (1988-2005) and Romanische Sprachgeschichte (2003-2008) did not discuss in detail, as well as on current research trends.
