ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This study, originally entitled 'The Adverbial Suffix -MENTE. Its Rise in Late Latin and Evolution in Romance', was accepted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Philology at the University of California, Berkeley, in December, 1979. I am indebted to Yakov Malkiel, who suggested MENTE as a dissertation topic, and to my other readers Ruggero Stefanini and Carol Justus. I am grateful also to the French Department, especially to Coe Senour, and to the Computer Center of the University of California, Berkeley, for making available to me the computer time to input, edit, and typeset this work on the UNIX Text Editor.
