Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of abbreviations -- Prolegomena -- Syntax, sociolinguistics, and literary genres -- Latin syntax and Greek -- Semitic influence in the history of Latin syntax -- Word order -- Coherence, sentence modification, and sentence-part modification – the contribution of particles -- Coordination -- Questions and answers -- Backmatter
Summary: This is the first of a multi-volume set dealing with the long-term evolution of Latin syntax, roughly from the 4th century BCE up to the 6th century CE. There are six pivotal chapters in this volume, each dealing with a subject which is critical to the understanding of the syntactic system. Topics covered include contact phenomena (from Greek and Semitic), the development of word order, particles, coordination, and the syntax of questions and answers. The volume is introduced by the editors in an explanatory "Prolegomena", and the textual parameters are set in a chapter on literary genres and sociolinguistics. Crafted in a functional-typological framework, chapters are user-sensitive, with a minimum of technical jargon and formalism, making them accessible to the widest range of readers.
