La collection Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) a l´ambition de présenter un panorama d´ensemble de la linguistique romane tenant compte des derniers acquis de la recherche. Elle comprendra une soixantaine de volumes qui pourront être utilisés séparément tout en offrant dans leur totalité une bonne approche globale de l´éventail actuel de la linguistique romane. L´accent sera mis en particulier sur les linguae minores auxquelles les deux grands ouvrages de références de la discipline, le «Dictionnaire de la linguistique romane» (Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik, 1988–2005) et l´«Histoire des langues romanes» (Romanische Sprachgeschichte, 2003–2008), n´avaient pu, pour des raisons bien compréhensibles, accorder qu´une place relativement restreinte.
La serie Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) se propone ofrecer una visión completa y actualizada de la lingüística románica. Esta serie se compone de alrededor de 60 volúmenes autónomos. Cada volumen puede usarse de manera independiente, pero tomados todos en su conjunto ofrecen una visión del espectro actual de la lingüística románica. Una atención especial se presta en esta ocasión a las linguae minores, a las que inevitablemente se dedicó menos espacio en las dos anteriores grandes obras de la disciplina, el Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (1988–2005) y la Romanische Sprachgeschichte (2003–2008).
La collana Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) si propone di offrire un aggiornamento sistematico sui più recenti sviluppi degli studi di linguistica romanza. I ca. 60 volumi di cui si compone sono a sé stanti e consultabili singolarmente, e tuttavia, se usati complessivamente, permettono una visione d´insieme dell´attuale spettro di ricerca nella linguistica romanza. Uno degli accenti più rilevanti è l´attenzione per le cosiddette linguae minores, alle quali, per forza di cose, è stato concesso poco spazio nelle due grandi opere della disciplina, il Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (1988–2005) e la Romanische Sprachgeschichte (2003–2008).

This manual is the first comprehensive account of Brazilian Portuguese linguistics written in English, offering not only linguists but also historians and social scientists new insights gained from the intensive research carried out over the last decades on the linguistic reality of this vast territory.
In the 20 overview chapters, internationally renowned experts give detailed yet concise information on a wide range of language-internal as well as external synchronic and diachronic topics. Most of this information is the fruit of large-scale language documentation and deillegalscription projects, such as the project on the linguistic norm of educated speakers (NURC), the project "Grammar of spoken Portuguese”, and the project "Towards a History of Brazilian Portuguese” (PHPB), among others. Further chapters of high contemporary interest and relevance include the study of linguistic policies and psycholinguistics.
The manual offers theoretical insights of general interest, not least since many chapters present the linguistic data in the light of a combination of formal, functional, generative and sociolinguistic approaches. This rather unique feature of the volume is achieved by the double authorship of some of the relevant chapters, thus bringing together and synthesizing different perspectives.

This manual is the first comprehensive account of Brazilian Portuguese linguistics written in English, offering not only linguists but also historians and social scientists new insights gained from the intensive research carried out over the last decades on the linguistic reality of this vast territory.

Most of this information is the fruit of large-scale language documentation and deillegalscription projects, such as the project on the linguistic norm of educated speakers (NURC), the project "Grammar of spoken Portuguese", and the project "Towards a History of Brazilian Portuguese" (PHPB), among others. Further chapters of high contemporary interest and relevance include the study of linguistic policies and psycholinguistics.
