ELEMENTS OF LATIN LINGUISTICS
(objectives)
The student will acquire knowledge on some aspects of phonetics, morphology and historical syntax, to arrive at an easier understanding of the structures and dynamisms of the Latin language, also with a view to a better knowledge of Italian. Through the knowledge, albeit essential, of historical phonetics, the student will also acquire those notions of prosody, which constitute a necessary basis for reading prose texts and also for the study of the Latin metric.
