Exercises: Linguistic change, from Latin to Romance languages
One of the fundamental themes that concerns the textual culture of the Romance languages in the Middle Ages, is the historical-cultural dynamic thanks to which from the sec. IX onwards the transformation of spoken Latin into distinct oral expressions emerged in writing, involving both the documents necessary for daily life and the production of literary texts. This cycle of 10 exercises are intended to offer preliminary information on this topic, through the analysis of some particularly significant texts, written between the first and the tenth century A.D.
