The Phonology of Classical Latin

This work is a comprehensive corpus-based description of the synchronic segmental phonology of Classical Latin.

 

Provides a full description of the phonology of a dead language and also highlights how the patterns and processes described contribute to phonological theoryResearch results include novel analyses of segmental phenomena, phonotactics, phonological processes, inflectional morphology, and certain diachronic questionsInformed by specific hypotheses about how phonological representations are structured and how phonological rules work, and in turn how the findings corroborate these hypothesesTheoretically grounded and provides raw material for researchers of phonology, morphology and historical linguistics
