Produktbeschreibung
This manual is intended to fill a gap in the area of Romance studies. There is no introduction available so far that broadly covers the field of Catalan linguistics, neither in Catalan nor in any other language. The work deals with the language spoken in Catalonia and Andorra, the Balearic Islands, the region of Valencia, Northern Catalonia and the town of l'Alguer in Sardinia. Besides introducing the ideologies of language and nation and the history of Catalan linguistics, the manual is divided into separate parts embracing the description - grammar, lexicon, variation and varieties - and the history of the language since the early medieval period to the present day. It also covers its current social and political situation in the new local and global contexts. The main emphasis is placed on modern Catalan.

The manual is designed as a companion for students of Catalan, while also introducing specialists of other languages into this field, in particular scholars of Romance languages.

Rezensionen
"El resultat final és superb i el llibre constitueix, tot i la inevitable heterogeneïtat derivada de la diversitat d'autors dels textos, una eina formidable per als qui s'interessin per l'estudi de la llengua catalana dins el propi domini lingüístic, però també arreu del món." Carles Duarte i Montserrat in: Revista de llengua i dret (2020).

"[...] liegt mit dem MCL eine durchdachte, akkurat edierte, aktuelle und damit wertvolle Ressource vor, die sowohl katalanistisch Versierte als auch Novizen und 'Gelegenheitsgäste' auf dem Gebiet der katalanischen Sprachwissenschaft in Forschung und Studium mit Gewinn nutzen werden und die den Ansprüchen an ein modernes und leserfreundliches Handbuch, wie sie im Profil der MRL-Reihe formuliert werden, vollauf gerecht wird." Claus D. Pusch in: Zeitschrift für Katalanistik 34 (2021), 419-423.

"[T]he Manual is carefully edited towards a non-Catalan-speaking audience of international linguists [...], thus opening this rich field of linguistic research to readers outside of Catalan or even Romance Philology." Hans-Ingo Radatz in: Vox Romanica 80 (2021), 374-376.
