The advent of the new discipline of Formal Semantics around forty
years ago has resulted in a vast expansion in our knowledge and
theoretical understanding of grammatical meaning. Semantics for
Latin collects together this new material, applies it to Latin, and
makes the results accessible to a Classical audience. The issues
confronted by Formal Semantics are mostly those that comprise the
core subject matter of Latin grammar. Formal Semantics, however, is
not just a new way of doing an old subject: the richness and
explanatory depth of its analyses, together with their striking
elegance and precision, go far beyond anything that was achieved by
the rather vague notional semantics used in our classroom textbooks
and in the standard German reference grammars. Thus, apart from its
intrinsic interest, the material in this book will be of real
practical value to students and teachers of Latin and, more
generally, to scholars engaged in any discussion of Latin textual
meaning.
