Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth, historically situated examination of the evolution of Latin prepositions. The author argues that, in their earliest stages, prepositions commonly followed the words they modified, and that their gradual shift to the position before nouns is a defining feature in the history of the Latin language. Through close analysis of the most ancient Latin texts and inscriptions, the author traces the development of prepositions from their Indo-European roots, their functions and meanings in early Italic languages, and their eventual transition to Latin, including the factors that led to the change in their typical position. Ultimately, the book illustrates how the study of prepositions sheds valuable light on the broader evolution of the Latin language and offers a distinctive angle on the study of word order in languages.
