Syntactic Theory in the High Middle Ages

The book explores the theories of sentence structure developed by the Modistae, a group of influential grammarians and logicians active in Paris during the late 13th and early 14th centuries. Michael Covington examines their origins and evolution, providing insights into their contributions to linguistic theory and the historical context of their work. This study offers a detailed analysis of how these early thinkers shaped the understanding of syntax and grammar.
