The Grammar of Romanian

This book is the first comprehensive grammar in English of present-day standard Romanian. Its descriptive framework is modern in conception, terminology, topics, and bibliography, while eschewing excessively theoretical approaches and overly technical presentations. The book also offers a special system of notes which contain additional diachronic and comparative information, as well as discussions of dialectal and sociolinguistic usage. The Grammar of Romanian is an indispensable resource for Romance linguists, from advanced undergraduate level and above.1. Introduction ; 2. The Verb ; 3. The Structure of Root Clauses ; 4.
