Esta es la primera sintaxis histórica de referencia para nuestra lengua. Está pensada como una obra de investigación y consulta dirigida a investigadores, profesores, estudiantes y a un público más abierto, interesado en la evolución del español. El libro hace una descripción pormenorizada de las construcciones sustentada en una abundante ejemplificación que comprende diez siglos de historia de nuestra lengua.

The Enciclopedia de Linguistica Hispánica provides comprehensive coverage of the major and subsidiary fields of Spanish linguistics. Entries are extensively cross-referenced and arranged alphabetically within three main sections: Part 1 covers linguistic disciplines, approaches and methodologies. Part 2 brings together the grammar of Spanish, including subsections on phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Part 3 brings together the historical, social and geographical factors in the evolution of Spanish. Drawing on the expertise of a wide range of contributors from across the Spanish-speaking world the Enciclopedia de Linguistica Hispánica is an indispensable reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Spanish, and for anyone with an academic or professional interest in the Spanish language/Spanish linguistics.
