What is colloquial Latin? What can we learn about it from Roman
literature, and how does an understanding of colloquial Latin
enhance our appreciation of literature? This book sets out to
answer such questions, beginning with examinations of how the term
'colloquial' has been used by linguists and by classicists (and how
its Latin equivalents were used by the Romans) and continuing with
exciting new research on colloquial language in a wide range of
Latin authors. Each chapter is written by a leading expert in the
relevant area, and the material presented includes new editions of
several texts. The Introduction presents the first account in
English of developments in the study of colloquial Latin over the
last century, and throughout the book findings are presented in
clear, lucid, and jargon-free language, making a major scholarly
debate accessible to a broad range of students and non-specialists.
