Les études rassemblées dans ce volume d'hommage correspondent aux principaux domaines de recherche de József Herman: elles sont consacrées à l'évolution de la langue latine classique et postclassique, à la formation des langues romanes, et - à travers ces thématiques - aux problèmes généraux de la diachronie linguistique. Au-delà des problèmes de détail traités, l'ensemble de ces articles, thématiquement groupés, dessine un panorama des disciplines concernées et fixe l'état de la recherche pour plus d'une question débattue. Les auteurs ont choisi le plus souvent une perspective historique, qui n'a pas exclu les considérations typologiques; les sources de la connaissance du latin vulgaire et tardif, ainsi que certaines questions de syntaxe et de style occupent dans l'ensemble une place privilégiée. The studies assembled in this volume in honor of József Herman address the main areas on which his research has concentrated: the evolution of classical and post-classical Latin, the emergence of the Romance languages, and (from this perspective) more general problems of diachronic linguistics. Over and above the individual problems addressed here in detail, the articles (grouped thematically) outline the concerns of the disciplines involved and establish the present state of research on a number of the issues discussed. Most of the authors have chosen a historical approach, but this does not exclude typological considerations. The collection as a whole is slanted toward the sources of knowledge of vulgar and late Latin and to various questions of syntax and style.
