| Course contents : | In connection with the Latin language course, the theoretical part of this course consists primarily in the linguistic description of the morphology and the syntax of Classical Latin. Every other year, verbal morphology and nominal morphology are alternatively studied. The description of the syntactic structures of Classical Latin (cases syntax, subordinate clauses syntax) is based on the study of grammatical models (memorization and active knowledge of those models are required) and on the reading of a text from the end of the republican period (Caesar, Cicero...).
The practical part of this course is dedicated to exercises on the language (morphological and syntactic analysis exercises, translations, proses, various exercises in lexicography and syntax). The students prepare by themselves the reading, the translation and the grammatical commentary of the text mentioned above, but this homework is completed by exercises during the course.
Tests are distributed all over the year, to allow the student to assess his progress and the work still needed. |
|
| Course objective : | In the end of the course, the students must have acquired:
1. a perfect command of the lexicon and the Latin language structures in order to allow an easy reading of the Classic Latin prose-writers, the translation of Classic Latin texts and the imitation prose;
2. some basic techniques of linguistic description (mainly in syntax). |
|
| Prerequisites : | The course is in theory designed for students who have already a knowledge of the Latin language (Secondary school level), but is open to students who begin to learn Latin, but, in this case, the work needed is of course more important. |
