Resumen de Reconstrucción protorromance desde la fonética: problemas metodológicos y propuestas cronológicas

José María Vallejo Ruiz

• The main goal of this paper is to establish an ordered timeline of the phonetic shifts that oral Latin experienced since the split of Sardinian up to the disintegration of the western family; at the same time, some methodological problems about the graphic representation of the relations among languages are discussed. Consequently, we propose a division of the branches of the Romance family and outline the phonological systems that characterized each group.
