  • New Latin Grammar
    NEW LATIN GRAMMAR BY CHARLES E. BENNETT Goldwin Smith Professor of Latin in Cornell University Quicquid praecipies, esto brevis, ut cito dicta Percipiant animi dociles teneantque fideles: Omne supervacuum pleno de pectore manat. —HORACE, Ars Poetica. COPYRIGHT, 1895; 1908; 1918 BY CHARLES E. BENNETT PREFACE. The present work is a revision of that published in 1908. No radical alterations have been introduced, although a number of minor changes will be noted. I have added an Introduction on the origin and development of the Latin language, which it is hoped will prove interesting and instructive to the more ambitious pupil. At the end of the book will be found an Index to the Sources of the Illustrative Examples cited in the Syntax. C.E.B. ITHACA, NEW YORK, May 4, 1918 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. The present book is a revision of my Latin Grammar originally published in 1895. Wherever greater accuracy or precision of statement seemed possible, I have endeavored to secure this. The rules for syllable division have been changed and made to conform to the prevailing practice of the Romans themselves. In the Perfect Subjunctive Active, the endings -īs, -īmus, -ītis are now marked long. The theory of vowel length before the suffixes -gnus, -gna, -gnum, and also before j, has been discarded. In the Syntax I have recognized a special category of Ablative of Association, and have abandoned the original doctrine as to the force of tenses in the Prohibitive. Apart from the foregoing, only minor and unessential modifications have been introduced. In its main lines the work remains unchanged.

  • Greek Grammar
    Greek Grammar Section B Greek Grammar Second Edition © 2003-2017 www.TimothyMinistries.info Page B - 1 Greek Grammar Language is the light of the mind. John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) Language is not only the vehicle of thought, it is a great and efficient instrument in thinking. H. Davey Some Koine Greek Background The Koine ( = “common”) Greek of the Bible and early Christian writings was preceded by Classi- cal Greek (until 323 BC) and followed by Medieval Greek (after AD 330). Koine arose as the com- mon dialect of the armies of Alexander the Great as they broke through national boundaries, and mixed cultures on their eastward march to Mesopotamia. Koine Greek is based upon Classical Attic Greek, and has elements of other Greek dialects mixed in. The names of the letters in the Greek alphabet are meaningless other than signifying their referent and beginning with the sound that their letter makes. This is because the Greek alphabet was adapted from the Phoenician-Semitic alphabet. “The Greek letters used in the most ancient inscriptions are, as to form, essentially the same as the corresponding characters found in Phoe- nician inscriptions and on Hebrew coins” (E. A. Sophocles, 1854). The earlier Semitic letters were pictograms that meant something. The West Semitic word Aleph, for example, meant ox, and the letter Aleph represented a bovine head with horns. The ancient meanings of these pictograms did not carry over into the corresponding Greek letters. © 2003-2017 www.TimothyMinistries.info Page B - 2 Greek Grammar Contents Some Koine Greek Background .................................................................................... 2 Abbreviations ............................................................................................................... 5 Conjunctions And ἵνα Clauses......................................................................................

  • *ABA in Stem-Allomorphy and the Emptiness of the Nominative Thomas Mcfadden Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS), DE [email protected]
    a journal of McFadden, Thomas. 2018. *ABA in stem-allomorphy and the general linguistics Glossa emptiness of the nominative. Glossa: a journal of general linguistics 3(1): 8. 1–36, DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/gjgl.373 RESEARCH *ABA in stem-allomorphy and the emptiness of the nominative Thomas McFadden Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS), DE [email protected] In this paper I examine patterns of irregular allomorphy in nominal stems sensitive to case in a number of nominative-accusative languages. I will argue that the data surveyed reveal a certain regularity in the distribution of irregularity across the cases in that they conform to what I call the Nominative Stem-Allomorphy Generalization. One irregular stem form is always found in the nominative (and in other cases that may be systematically syncretic with it), with all other cases sharing a single other stem form. I will show that this subsumes a clear instance of a *ABA pattern, and in fact is even more restrictive, as it also shows *ABC and (qualified) *AAB. I will situate these findings relative to recent work on *ABA patterns and on case-sensitive irregularity in noun and pronoun suppletion, and then will build on that prior work to propose an account for the generalization in terms of a structured representation of nouns and case categories interacting with locality conditions on allomorphy. Keywords: stem alternations; allomorphy; case; nominative; *ABA 1 An introduction to the pattern from Tamil Nouns in the Dravidian language Tamil follow a generally agglutinative pattern in their inflection.1 As can be seen in Table 1, the case markers are easily segmentable, and the same ones attach to all nouns (with minor differences based on animacy).2 The form of the noun stem that these suffixes attach to is mostly constant, aside from the application of regular rules to ensure phonological well-formedness.

  • ONE, TWO, MANY LATINS: an INVESTIGATION INTO the RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN the PRONUNCIATION of LATIN and LATIN-ROMANCE DIGLOSSIA By
    ONE, TWO, MANY LATINS: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRONUNCIATION OF LATIN AND LATINROMANCE DIGLOSSIA by KEVIN RICHARD ROTH (Under the Direction of Jared Klein) ABSTRACT From the modern perspective the divide between Latin and the Romance Languages is so well established that one is tempted to regard such a development as inevitable. The terms “Vulgar Latin” and “Classical Latin” are so familiar that it is easy to imagine that the former changed over time into the Romance Languages while the latter remained the same. This scenario, however, does not take into account the ability of languages to be sufficiently elastic that the written form can retain archaic grammar and vocabulary while the spoken form advances. The preponderance of surviving evidence supports the view that Latin and forms of Romance were not consciously distinguished from one another until the Carolingian Renaissance c. AD 800. This eventual dichotomy seems to have been prompted, not by natural development, but rather by a reform in the pronunciation of Latin that was promoted at this time by the monk Alcuin. The new pronunciation eventually occasioned written forms of the Romance Languages.
