New Perspectives on Historical Latin Syntax is a methodologically uniform multi-authored work that traces main currents in the syntactic history of Latin.The term history of Latin (or of any other ancient IE language) in its most widespread usage means 'history of phonology and morphology' as they have developed from PIE. Standard comparative grammars of Latin have concentrated primarily on the development of the phonological and morphological systems of the language, with comparatively little attention paid to historical syntax. This emphasis is reflective of the Indo-European tradition in which these works were executed. Comparatively less progress has been made in the reconstruction of an agreed-upon set of syntactic structures which characterize the protolanguage, and the corresponding principles which govern the syntactic evolution of the daughter languages.Relying primarily on a functional-typological methodology, in which structural considerations of the traditional type are combined in a complementary and balanced way with functional and typological principles, New Perspectives on Historical Latin Syntax approaches the matter from a non-traditional perspective, investigating diachronic phenomena primarily from their discourse function as revealed in Latin texts. A sample includes the origins and development of participant-tracking in discourse, deixis, the use and function of sentenceconnectives, the shift from 'be' to 'have' expressions to mark predicative possession, and changes in word order, to name but a few. New Perspectives on Historical Latin Syntax thus provides a means of investigating the long-term syntactic history of the language, a history that runs up to 5000 years if the starting point is Proto-Indo-European, and at least 1200 years from the perspective of Latin itself, that is, from the first inscriptions to the work of Gregory of Tours.; PDF; Reference & Languages > linguistics, De Gruyter<

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science.TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language.TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing. De Gruyter Mouton Linguistics 9783110205633 DE,GB,US,ES,IT,FR,MX English Languages & Linguistics, De Gruyter<
