Tacitus’ Sentence Connection examines how the author links consecutive sentences beyond simple conjunctions, revealing how meaning travels from one thought to the next.
This study shows that Tacitus uses a rich toolkit to express relationships between sentences. It covers repetition, contrast, pronouns and demonstratives, adverbs, and even verb forms to make connections clear when writing. By looking at examples and patterns, readers see how connection is built in the mind of the writer and made visible in the text.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the many ways in which Roman writers connected sentences without using conjunctions, a practice that was far more common than is often recognized. The author investigates the full range of methods used by Latin authors from the earliest texts to the highly refined Latin of Tacitus. In addition to the detailed study of connection by means of explicit and implicit connectives, the author also examines the special problems of introducing quotations, questions, and answers without conjunctions. The book concludes with a discussion of the theoretical implications of these connective methods for the development of the Latin language and the study of historical linguistics.
