The new series Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL), whose volumes will begin to appear in 2014, aims to present a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of Romance linguistics. It will comprise approximately 50 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), could not discuss in detail. ukryj opis
