Abstract This paper aims to describe the behavior of Latin verbs with three arguments basically encoding the transfer of a Theme from an Agent to a Recipient: these verbs, labelled as ditransitives within the framework of linguistic typology, will be analyzed here on the basis of this theoretical approach. Across languages, the object arguments of ditransitives may be marked as the Patient of monotransitives or differently from it, giving rise to various types of alignment: the most frequent are the indirective, the secundative and the neutral alignment. In Latin, these three basic types of alignment are attested with ditransitives in the active and passive voice, although they are differently distributed across the lexicon. Moreover, some verbs allow more than one type of encoding of the relevant arguments, showing alternating alignments. I shall focus on the reasons of the distribution and alternation of the three types, with the goal of providing a point of departure for a deeper understanding of ditransitives in the Latin language.

Abstract Fabrics referred to by Linear A ligature AB 54+04, Mycenaean te-pa, alphabetic Greek τήβεννα, and Latin toga are likely to indicate different objects. However, a contextual analysis of these terms highlights that they show considerable similarities, such as the raw material employed (wool) and the huge quantity of product used for their manufacture. Given that it is already well known that τήβεννα is the Greek word used to refer to Latin toga, this paper will present further arguments to extend such a comparison, but this time on semantic grounds, to Mycenaean te-pa and, possibly, also to AB 54+04. Moreover, it will be argued that Mycenaean te-pa could also find a possible parallel in an Eastern term referring to a fabric or a garment.

Abstract This paper deals with the declension of the Latin present active participle (ppa), which shows several inconsistencies: the ablative singular for instance may end in -e or in -i (sapiente, sapienti) and the genitive plural may end in -um or -ium (sapientum, sapientium). Some grammarians, notably modern ones, assume that there are syntactico-semantic considerations or circumstances, leading to ablative -e ending when verbal force is intended (such as in the ablative absolute) or substantival force, and to -i ending when there is nominal, notably adjectival force. I have investigated whether ancient, medieval and modern grammarians treat such a phenomenon. In addition, I looked for inconsistencies in the grammarian’s own ppa declension from this syntactico-semantic point of view. It turns out that ancient and medieval grammarians do not formulate declension of the ppa according to its syntactico-semantic function, with the exception of the anonymous author of the Ars Ambrosiana, nor do they decline their own ppa’s according to a conventional rule of this kind. This calls for other explanations regarding the declensional inconsistencies observed. Some of the ppa forms may reflect a temporary phenomenon which would have disappeared in due course through diachronic evolution and paradigm leveling. Some forms may have persisted because of their frequency and idiomatic force or because of the compelling analogy with other words and phrases. But these ppa declensional variations do not appear to conform to a syntactico-semantic rule.

Abstract This paper focuses on the different definitions of the so-called mytacism in Latin grammarians (from the early imperial period to twelth-century treatises), starting from an assessment of the textual basis of their statements. Mytacism is a vitium orationis which affects the phonetic realization of the final group vowel + [m] when followed by another vowel; mytacism also raises various phonetic and rhetorical issues such as weakening of the sound [m], nasalization of the preceding vowel, elision and hiatus. Two competing theories in modern scholarship (weak nasal consonant versus nasalized vowel) try to explain the pronunciation of the final group vowel+[m] followed by another vowel; however, ancient grammar does not possess a theoretical and terminological framework stringent enough to give an accurate phonetic description of this sound. Finally, the paper argues that mytacism is a linguistic mistake associated with the ancient perception of word boundary; its varying definitions allow us to recognize at least an elementary “phonological awareness” in ancient grammatical doctrines.

Abstract Comparison of adjectives (and adverbs) is a grammatical category that has passed practically unremarked upon by generations of Latin linguists. Latin grammar books (with few exceptions, cf. Kühner and Stegmann, 1955: 565–566The Oxford Latin syntax. Volume I: The simple clause, 47. Oxford: Oxford University Press) omit entirely the question of which adjectives can be compared and which cannot. Nevertheless, the data from modern languages show that the category of comparison of adjectives (and adverbs) is actually highly limited, making it essential to address this question for Latin, too. One of the issues comprehended within the extremely complex area of (non-)gradability of adjectives is periphrastic comparison. Latin grammar books explain, based on the assertions of ancient Latin grammarians, that it applies to adjectives ending in -eus, -ius and -uus, implying, or even explicitly stating, that the reason for this type of comparison is phonetic incompatibility of the word-formative suffix with the comparative suffix. However, two facts call for reinterpretation of the matter: (i) periphrastic comparison also occurs in other adjectives for which there is no phonetic incompatibility; (ii) by contrast, some adjectives in -eus, -ius and -uus actually do have simple forms. In the light of these facts, this paper aims to map the real situation of periphrastic comparison in Latin. The employed corpus comprises all the words marked as adjectives in the Oxford Latin Dictionary (more than 10,000 items) and all their occurrences throughout the database Bibliotheca Teubneriana Latina III.
形容词(和副词)的比较是一个语法范畴，几乎没有被几代拉丁语言学家注意到。拉丁文语法书(除了少数例外，参见k纳和斯特格曼，1955:565 - 566)牛津拉丁文语法。第一卷:简单条款，47页。牛津:牛津大学出版社)完全省略了哪些形容词可以比较，哪些不能比较的问题。然而，来自现代语言的数据表明，形容词(和副词)比较的范畴实际上是非常有限的，因此也有必要为拉丁语解决这个问题。在形容词的(非)可分级性这一极其复杂的领域中，被理解的问题之一是修辞比较。拉丁语法书根据古拉丁语法学家的断言解释说，它适用于以-eus、-ius和- us结尾的形容词，暗示甚至明确指出，这种比较的原因是构词性后缀与比较性后缀在语音上不相容。然而，有两个事实需要对这个问题进行重新解释:(1)在其他没有语音不相容的形容词中也会出现修辞比较;(ii)相比之下，-eus， -ius和- us中的一些形容词实际上有简单的形式。在此基础上，本文力图描绘出拉丁文绕行比较的真实情况。所使用的语料库包括牛津拉丁词典中标记为形容词的所有单词(超过10,000项)以及它们在数据库Bibliotheca Teubneriana Latina III中的所有出现。

Abstract This paper reviews approaches to what is known as the septimus casus from Varro and Quintilian to the late grammarians. It emphasizes the different points of view adopted to describe the seventh case in the history of Latin grammar, and suggests that some descriptions have arisen from simple misinterpretations of earlier sources. The paper confirms that Varro may have had a concept of a seventh case. Interestingly, an unnoticed connection has been detected between the earliest approaches and those in Servius’s commentaries on Vergil, where the opinion differs greatly from those in the artes grammaticae.

Abstract The authors deal with a range of phenomena characterized by anomalies with respect to the mismatch between the surface realization of nominal phrases on the morphosyntactic level, i.e. the selection of cases, and their grammatical function. In connection with the subject function, traditional scholars generally regarded this kind of non-canonical relation between sentence structure and semantic interpretation as a categorial deviation and treated it under the cover terms grammatical versus logical subject. The eye-catching title of this paper makes allusions to rather dangerous, odd and sinister characters and topics in real life. On the one hand, therefore it should express the “irrational” use of well-established terms and categories. On the other hand, it may point at our attempt to group together and “telescope” different and mostly separate constructions such as nominativus pendens, genetivus partitivus, nominativus absolutus, dativus sympatheticus, furthermore subjectless sentences and emphatic exclamations, and to put them under a common denominator, which might be called – in terms of an oxymoron – “irregular regularity.” Our analysis focuses on Latin and Ancient Greek material. Nevertheless, data from exotic languages, such as Kannada, are also considered, and they – once more – demonstrate the diversity of typologically different patterns as well as the predominant “eurocentric” attitude in the categorization of linguistic phenomena. Additionally, we discuss some features indirectly related to our main topic, such as converse verbs, the substitution of passive forms by active lexical items belonging to the same semantic field (as a type of morphological suppletion), and the change of valency or respectively semantic roles within the framework of Case grammar. However, this article only tries to fulfill the criteria of observational and descriptive adequacy within a model of ascending degrees, whereas the level of explanation will be addressed in future work.

Abstract In this paper we review a specific use of the dico form: its use as autonymous marker. From a corpus of Latin texts (from the archaic period to the Flavian Age), we try to determine if this use is correlated to specific linguistic configurations. After reminding that the dico form could be used in the self-quotation with different values (over-enunciative and autonymous) often connected with the morphosyntactic form of the quoted speech, we study more specifically the linguistic conditions of emergence of the dico form as autonymous marker and review different criteria: contextual, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic. In the last part of this paper, we propose to focus our attention on two particularly relevant phenomena: the autodiaphonic repetitions and the case particularities of the word used in autonymy with dico.
