The study of the syntax of the verb in Latin has for the most part taken the form of a careful examination of coordination and subordination and of the development of the former into the latter by way of parataxis. The present investigation is an attempt to discover a more fundamental standpoint for the consideration of sentence relations, and to do away with the somewhat artificial distinction between coordinate and subordinate by means of a more thorough understanding of the nature and origin of each. It is based in part on my own complete collection from Tacitus of the instances of adjacent sentences not connected by conjunctions ;in part on the results of a special study of Cato and Sallust and the younger Pliny entire, of some three hundred pages of Cicero and about the same amount of Seneca, of three books of Caesar, three of Livy, four of Quintilian, and four lives of Suetonius; in part on material drawn from casual reading. My collections include some fourteen thousand cases aside from many listed by citation but not actually taken off on cards. For Plautus and Terence I have made use of Bennett: Syntax of Early Latin, Morris: The Independent Subjunctive in Plautus, and the standard text books on Latin syntax. Citations are made from the latest editions of the Teubner texts. To Prof. E. P.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the syntax of the verb in Latin, presenting detailed analysis of coordination and its development into subordination. Moving beyond traditional discussions of coordinate and subordinate clauses, the author introduces a more fundamental perspective for the consideration of sentence relations, revealing how each sentence's function arises from the semantic units it expresses rather than an artificial delineation of its purpose. The author provides examples drawn from prominent Roman authors such as Tacitus, Sallust, Cicero, and Seneca, illustrating the many different types of sentence connection and demonstrating the wide-ranging ways in which Roman writers expressed thought relations. This study uncovers the nuanced and complex means by which Latin authors craft their prose, revealing new insights into the structure and development of Latin syntax and its utility for the expression of complex ideas. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
