Description
Summary:The Latin grammar has been constituted by using the conceptual frames, the terminology and the learning methods of the Greek grammar. This theoretical and methodological transfer has been supported by the historical and genetic proximity of the two languages. This model has allowed the description of Latin but also has put it in a state of dependence on Greek. Yet, in some ways, it has distorted the analysis of the Latin language, but has also permitted an original and autonomous linguistic reflexion. On the other hand the analysis of the Latin phenomena has provided elements of comparison and differentiation, and has given to the Greek grammar a new, “Greco-Latin” dimension, laying the foundations of a “comparative” grammar.
