This textbook provides a detailed introduction to the study of
Latin from the perspective of contemporary linguistics. It adopts
some basic tenets of generative grammar in an in-depth analysis of
the main phonological, morphological, and syntactic properties of
Latin, and offers a step-by-step guide to the universal principles
and specific parameters which shape the language, along with
comparative data from English and other languages. Latin: A
Linguistic Introduction is a user-friendly and essential guide to
the synchronic study of Latin as a natural language. The clarity of
exposition and the richness of the examples cited provide a new
approach to Latin as a topic of linguistic research: although the
general structure of the book is like that of a traditional Latin
grammar, the discussion of grammatical rules is both more
straightforward and more theoretically informed. This textbook is
principally suitable for students of Latin and Romance linguistics
at undergraduate level and above, but also for teachers and
researchers interested in new ways of looking at the study of
Latin. It differs from many other textbooks in the field by
striking a valuable balance between the longstanding tradition of
classical philology and the innovations of contemporary
linguistics.
