Abstract
Metaphorically, a language can be considered potentially mature if in the respective society exist, at least in a latent state, the linguistic fundamentals (lexical, morphological, syntactic, textual) necessary to establish the different textual genres required by the various spheres of its culture (textual potentiality). The respective society would be really mature only if it has developed the paradigms of the different textual genres in reproducible series (v. gr. epic poems, donation letters, etc.; textual serialization). The wealth of textual series constitutes one of the basic axes of any culture. The development of textual series is correlated with the formation and continuity of state structures. This work offers a brief comparative overview of textual development in different medieval Romance cultures.
