| Summary |
"An Outline of the Phonology and Morphology of Old Provençal" by C. H. Grandgent is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a comprehensive guide for students of Romance Philology, specifically examining the phonetic and grammatical aspects of the Old Provençal language. It focuses on the literary language used mainly by the poets of Southern France during the 12th and 13th centuries. The opening portion of the work provides a preface from the author, outlining his extensive research journey that spanned two decades. Grandgent discusses the resources he utilized, including foundational grammars and various treatises on Provençal linguistics. He clarifies that while his study centers on the older literary language of Provençal, it also considers regional dialects to illuminate historical phonetic variations across time. The subsequent sections promise a detailed examination of phonology, accent, vowels, and consonants, ultimately aiming to present a systematic understanding for students of the language.
