Comparative Greek and Latin Syntax
Comparative Greek and Latin Syntax by R. Moore, published by Bloomsbury Academic on December 16, 1999, offers a detailed examination of the syntax of Greek and Latin. This edition, comprising 235 pages, addresses the challenges modern students face due to a lack of formal training in grammar, which often leads to frustration with the complexities of ancient languages. The book introduces readers to the syntax of both languages side by side, providing a comparative approach that highlights their unique features.
Readers will find that the book focuses on three main aspects: a critical explanation of usages and the associated labels and theories, a historical overview of the development and changes in the languages, and a psychological exploration of how speakers and writers express their thoughts. This work encourages an understanding of Greek and Latin as dynamic languages, emphasizing their evolution rather than viewing them as static entities. With its focus on Foreign Language Study, Greek, and Latin, this text serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intricacies of ancient languages.
Official synopsis Publisher
Modern students’ lack of formal training in the grammar even of their own language leads to an impatience with the jargon and rules of syntax in their study of the ancient inflected languages. This comparative approach to Greek and Latin (first published in 1934) serves to introduce students to the syntax of both languages side by side.
The book has three main thrusts: the first critical – to explain usages and the labels and theories attached to them; the second historical – to explain the process by which the languages developed and changed; the third psychological – how did the working of speakers’ or writers’ thoughts make them express themselves and even vary ‘normal’ usages? The book still challenges anyone with an interest in the classical languages to see them as dynamic, developing entities, not as something fixed or dead.
