Abstract

Abstract The Tabula Alimentaria Veleiana and the Tabula Ligures Baebiani are two 2nd century tablets which outline the regional implementation and execution of Trajan’s alimentary scheme. These tablets not only provide some of the longest Latin inscriptions from antiquity, but they also offer unique insight into regional linguistic patterns, as one tablet is from northern Italy and the other is from southern Italy. Given that each tablet demonstrates its own consistent patterns of orthographic peculiarities, it is possible that these communities had local epigraphic traditions. This, in turn, could suggest that consistent spelling anomalies reflect regional phonological patterns, such as intervocalic voicing and consonant degemination. This case study builds on recent literature studying sociolinguistic variation in Latin by using tablets from the same time period as regional corpora with which to study linguistic patterns.

作为语料库的罗马石碑:公元前 2 世纪拉丁语语音变异的证据
摘要 《Tabula Alimentaria Veleiana》和《Tabula Ligures Baebiani》是两块 2 世纪的石碑,概述了特拉扬饮食计划在各地区的实施和执行情况。这两块碑文不仅提供了古代最长的拉丁文碑文,还提供了对地区语言模式的独特见解,因为一块碑文来自意大利北部,另一块来自意大利南部。鉴于每块碑文都展示了自己一致的正字法模式,这些社区有可能拥有当地的书法传统。这反过来又表明,一致的拼写异常反映了地区语音模式,如声间音和辅音去声。本案例研究以近期研究拉丁语社会语言变异的文献为基础,将同一时期的石碑作为研究语言模式的地区语料库。
