The Vulgar Tongue: Medieval and Postmedieval Vernacularity
Fiona Somerset
These essays offer new vistas on the idea of the vernacular in contexts as diverse as Ramon Llull’s prefiguration of universal grammar, the orthography of Early Middle English, the struggle for linguistic purity in Early Modern Dutch, and the construction of standard Serbian and Romanian in the waning decades of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
