Address in Portuguese and Spanish : Studies in Diachrony and Diachronic Reconstruction - Berlin/Boston De Gruyter 2020 - 1 electronic resource (488 p.)

Open Access

The volume provides the first systematic comparative approach to the history of forms of address in Portuguese and Spanish—two intimately related languages sharing historical, political and geographic contexts. Including theoretical reflections as well as fine-grained empirical studies, the volume relies on an innovative methodology, as it links traditional downstream diachrony with upstream diachronic reconstruction based on synchronic variation.
