The published proceedings of the latest triennial conference of the Société de Linguistique Romane (and the first to have been held in Britain) contain c. 200 papers, arranged in fourteen sections: 1. Romance linguistics and lingustic theory, 2. Philology and the new media: textual editions, corpus linguistics, computer analysis of languages, 3. Romania nova, 4. Linguistic policies in Romania minor, 5. Language of early texts (from the origins to the eighteenth century), 6. Anglo-Norman, 7. Late Latin, 8. Sociolinguistics, 9. Grammaticography, 10. Text linguistics and pragmatics, 11. Lexicology and lexicography, 12. Regional variation in national languages and vernacular dialects, 13. Derivational morphology, 14. Grammar and toponymy. These are accompanied by three plenary papers and by two Round Table discussions on bibliographical questions. The papers offer a panorama of both novel and traditional themes of Romance linguistics and provide an important up-to-date survey of current work in the field.
