The present book focuses on evolution in the Romance verbal systems. In the wake of Bybee’s and Dahl’s studies, it advocates the benefits of adopting a cross-linguistic and diachronic approach. Indeed developments in related languages at different stages of grammaticalisation may shed light on evolution in each system.
