North Carolina Studies in the Romance La An Inquiry Into Local Variations in Vulgar Latin: As Reflected in the Vocalism of Christian Inscriptions, Book 77, (Paperback)

This study is an attempt to furnish data for our knowledge of Vulgar Latin culled from the vocalism of Latin Christian inscriptions, particularly of the funeral type, found in those areas of the Western Roman world where Romance speech developed, and to shed some light, by means of a comparative study, on the controversial issue as to whether linguistic features that differentiate Romance languages and dialects correspond to dialectal differences already in existence.
