| Description: | In its syntax and morphology Catalan presents characteristics which will be familiar to readers with a knowledge of other Romance languages, especially Spanish. There are areas in which it differs markedly and these are explored in depth. Among the languages of Europe spoken by bilingual communities, Catalan has a special status because of its vitality. Catalan enjoys official recognition in Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Islands, in spain and in the principality of Andorra. Catalan is of importance within the Romance family because it constitutes a link between the Ibero-Romance family of languages and the Gallo-Romance branches. This book will be of interest to both Romanists and general linguists engaged in comparative work. |
