Variation and change in Greek and Latin
Colloquial and literary language in early Roman tragedy
INTRODUCTION Roman tragedy has not received the same amount of careful examination as Greek tragedy – not even the tragic œuvre of Seneca and those few other tragedies that happened to survive in full. Partly the fragmentary nature of the textual corpus is to blame, but also, and this is perhaps even more important, the fact that Roman tragedy never managed to leave behind its smell of being secondary, of being derivative, and of being inferior t…
Requesting in a letter: context, syntax and the choice between complements in the letters of Cicero and Pliny the Younger1
This article addresses the question of how the choice between two complements is determined in the case of Latin rogo‘I ask’. When rogo has the meaning ‘to request, to ask a favour’ (as opposed to asking a question), it is usually followed by a (final) complement clause that either is or is not introduced by the conjunction ut (the subordinate predicate is always in the subjunctive). Traditionally, the difference between these two constructions h…
Linguistic Varieties and Language Level in Latin Non-Literary Letters
The Latin letters on papyri, ostraca, and wooden tablets offer many interesting aspects for the study of variation and change in the Latin language. However, it is not always clear how this evidence should be interpreted. For any kind of linguistic research on these letters it is reasonable to assume that every writer of these texts tried to write as well as he or she possibly could, and hence that deviations from the standard are unintentional, …
Pompeian Wall Inscriptions and the Latin Language
A Marriage Contract
In this paper we approach a Latin marriage contract from Philadelphia, Egypt, taking into account various viewpoints. The document is written in Latin, a language that was not commonly used in the community. As a result of the language choice the contract offers a possibility for a contact linguistic analysis. The names of the father of the bride and the future husband, Nomissianus and M. Petronius Servillius respectively, are Roman, so there pro…
