Description


Gramática Histórica Galega is the first systematic analysis of the history of the Galician language, the most important symbol of the country’s national identity. Manuel Ferreiro’s meticulous philological survey of the evolution of Galician over the centuries is an essential source of reference and information about the phonetics, morphology and syntax of the language: from the Latin origins of the lexis and the mechanics of its development, through the tangled pathways and historical events that shaped and influenced the language and its speakers.
