Omschrijving
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.
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.
a stunning achievement
Thought out to be the scientifically up-to-date replacement for the Ausfürliche Grammatik der lateinischen Sprache: Satzlehre, the Oxford Latin Syntax (...), is a monument to the Latin language and contemporary linguistics that no Latinist can be indifferent to.
Harm Pinkster is Emeritus Professor of Latin at the University of Amsterdam. He has held visiting professorships at the universities of Bologna, Aix-en-Provence, Penn State, Pavia, Venice, Oxford, and Chicago. His books include On Latin Adverbs (North-Holland, 1972; reprinted by Amsterdam University Press, 2005), Latin Linguistics and Linguistic Theory (John Benjamins, 1983), and Latin Syntax and Semantics (Routledge, 1990). He is also the co-author of four of the five volumes of a Commentary on Cicero's De Oratore (Winter Verlag, 1981-1996). He is a member of the Academia Europaea, a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy, and a Foreign Member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters.
