Abstract

Ancient Greek grammar, and in particular its parts-of-speech system, provided the conceptual and terminological basis for the description of the Latin language. This transfer caused a number of (sub)categorial “frictions”, due to the structural differences that exist between both languages. A specific instance is that of the article, ἄρθρον or articulus, which was considered (part of) a separate part of speech in Greek, but which is absent from Latin. In this paper we discuss the views and comments expressed on this issue by Latin grammarians up to the early Middle Ages. While some of the grammarians deny that there is an article in Latin, others state that it does exist, but that it does not “count” as a separate part of speech, or that it is “substituted for” with the demonstrative pronoun. Their comments are illustrative (a) of the various adaptive strategies followed in the “bargaining situation” constituted by the projection of the Greek partsof-speech system upon the Latin language; (b) of transformations undergone by the Graeco-Latin grammatical legacy in late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages; and (c) of a push chain of changes in the anaphoric-deictic (sub)system of Latin pronouns.

中世纪早期拉丁语法学家的发音:语法学说中传统与创新的复杂相互作用
古希腊语法,特别是它的词类系统,为描述拉丁语提供了概念和术语基础。由于两种语言之间存在的结构差异,这种转移引起了许多(次)范畴“摩擦”。一个具体的例子是冠词,ν ρθρον或articulus,它在希腊语中被认为是一个单独的词类,但在拉丁语中却没有。本文讨论了中世纪早期拉丁语法学家对这一问题的看法和评论。虽然有些语法学家否认拉丁语中有冠词,但也有人说冠词确实存在,但它不能“算作”一个单独的词类,或者用指示代词“代替”。他们的评论说明了(a)在希腊词性系统投射到拉丁语上所构成的“讨价还价情况”中所遵循的各种适应策略;(b)希腊-拉丁语法遗产在上古晚期和中世纪早期所经历的转变;(c)拉丁代词回指-指示(子)系统中的推链变化。
