Probus is intended as a platform for the discussion of historical and synchronic research in the field of Latin and Romance linguistics, with special emphasis on phonology, morphology, syntax, language acquisition and sociolinguistics. The journal aims to keep its readers abreast of the developments in Romance linguistics by encouraging problem-oriented contributions that combine the solid empirical foundations of philological and linguistic work with the insights provided my modern theoretical approaches.
With Probus 11-1 the editors and the publishers wish to celebrate the journal´s tenth anniversary. Since its foundation in January 1989, PROBUS has proven to be a useful medium for the exchange of ideas, explanations, and solutions aiming at a better understanding of the structures of the Romance language. After ten fruitful years of PROBUS, we wish to look ahead to the next decade, with the intention of consolidating its role as an outlet for high quality research in Latin and Romance linguistics.
The broadening of the journal´s theoretical scope is reflected by the new composition of the board of consulting editors. They will use their scholarly competence to contribute to the discussion of the paradigmatic changes that occur in the various fields, such as Optimality Theory.
Probus is a peer-reviewed journal of international scope.
