Opis

This second volume of a two-volume work applies contemporary linguistic theories and the findings of traditional grammar to the study of Latin syntax. It the first full-scale treatment of its kind in English, and contains extensive examples from literary and non-literary sources including Plautus and Cicero.

Recenzje

Overall, the OLS is a monumental achievement, and such idiosyncrasies as there are do not detract from this. These volumes present a comprehensive unified account of the whole of Latin syntax, broadly conceived, and they are both a source of reference for the familiar and also an invitation to think about it anew.
