Manuel de linguistique française

The new series Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL), whose volumes will begin to appear in 2014, aims to present a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of Romance linguistics. It will comprise approximately 50 volumes that can either be consulted individually or used as a series of books providing a detailed overall picture of the current state of research in Romance linguistics. A special focus will be placed on the presentation and analysis of the smaller languages, the linguae minores , which the two older reference works of the discipline, Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (1988-2005) and Romanische Sprachgeschichte (2003-2008), could not discuss in detail.

Résumé
"Le Manuel de linguistique francaise (MLF) est sans aucun doute un grand ouvrage de synthèse ayant pour mission de présenter à la communauté scientifique une vue d'ensemble actuelle, et de jeter des regards critiques sur les contenus et les tendances de la linguistique française. Les chapitres s'achèvent très souvent par des perspectives suggérant des pistes de recherche à venir."Danh Thành Do-Hurinville in: Bulletin de la Societe de Linguistique 2017: 32-54 "Sans pour autant rendre la consultation des ouvrages susmentionnes (et d'autres, plus anciens encore) superflue, le Manuel de linguistique française constitue une nouvelle piece centrale dans la mosaique des publications de reference consacrees a la linguistique francaise et romane."Ludwig Fesenmeier/Stephanie Massicot in: Romanische Forschungen 130 (2018), 540-549
