Abstract
The present article analyses the problems of periodization of the evolution of the Romance Languages and its criteria. The author tries to explain a parallel periodization of spoken and written Latin and the following evolutive Romance phases up to Old Castilian, Classical Spanish and the Contemporary Spanish of our day.
He centres his attention upon the linguistic criteria, taking into account the results of the Prague Historical Comparative Studies, especially the work of M. Křepinský.
