Paperback. Condición: 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.
