Written by Samuel Stehman Haldeman and originally published in 1851, this book covers all aspects of Latin pronunciation, from the sounds of individual letters and combinations of letters to the stress and intonation of words and phrases. The author also includes a brief history of Latin pronunciation and its evolution over time, as well as a discussion of the differences between classical and ecclesiastical pronunciation. This book is an essential resource for anyone studying Latin or using Latin words in their profession.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

StfS EST LITERARTJM, UT CUSTODIANT VOCES ET VELTJT DEPOSITUM EEDDANT LEQENTIBUS: ITAQXJE ID EXPKI- MERE DEBENT, QUOD DICTURI SUMUS. QXJIIS rOT. INST. OR. I. VII. The use of letters is to preserve vocal sounds, and, as it were, return the deposit to the reader: therefore they should express what we have to say. In making some inquiries into the phonetic peculiarities of the aboriginal languages of North A merica, I found myself at a loss, from the want of an alphabet in which to record my results, those of Europe being more or less corrupt; and finding the statements respecting the Latin alphabet to a certain extent contradictory and unsatisfactory, I resolved to investigate it, with the intention of using it strictly according to its Latin signification, as far as this could be ascertained. This special inquiry being made, a view of the results is here presented. Pronunciation is the basis of philology, and without a knowledge of it, in examining the various writings likely to be used for philological purposes, little progress can be made in this science. It is of little use to show a person unacquainted with A rabic and Greek characters, that I dmistry is derived from L;,t and not from ji Doj or to inform a pupil that the South English wordi plow, is derived from a North English word, written plough with six characters, if he does not know what words these characters are intended to represent.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
