The present volume presents scholarly study into Old French as it is practiced today  in all of
its forms  within a variety of theoretical frameworks  from Optimality Theory to Minimalism to
Discourse Analysis. Many of the chapters are corpus-based  reflecting a new trend in the field
as more electronic corpora become available. The chapters contribute to our understanding of
both the synchronic state and diachronic evolution  not only of Old French  but of language in
general. Its breadth is extensive in that contributors pursue research on a wide variety of
topics in Old French focusing on the various subsystems of language. All examples are carefully
glossed and the relevant characteristics of Old French are clearly explained  which makes it
uniquely accessible to non-specialists and linguists at all levels of training. ¿
