This study is designed to show the similarities and differences of the phonological and morphological developments among the three Ibero -Romance languages , Castilian , Portuguese and Catalan . Several studies have been done on the respective languages : R . Men^ndez -Pidal , Manual de gram^tica hist6rica espanola , R . Lapesa , Historia de la lengua espafiola , A . Badfa Margarit , Gram^tica hist6rica catalana , and E . Williams , From Latin to Portuguese . A few of these studies have not been limited to the treatment of one language as in the case of W . Entwistle , The Spanish Language Together With Portuguese , Catalan and Basque , but none has attempted a parallel comparative approach based on the histories , sound systems and word formations of the three Iberian romances . |
