Synopsis
This book offers an exhaustive analysis of agreement, voices, and inflexions in early Latin. The author argues that many postulations concerning the use of these features in early Latin are often unjustified, especially when these postulations rely on incomplete data. The book systematically collects evidence from the earliest Latin literature, ranging from the archaic period to the time of imperial Rome. This evidence is then meticulously analyzed to demonstrate that many rules purportedly governing the usage of these features are more complex and nuanced than is commonly assumed. It challenges the rigidity of many of our assumptions concerning early Latin, and offers more flexible and accurate norms that will be useful to both teachers and students of the language.
