| Systematic review of the Latin language structures (vocabulary, morphology, syntax) :
- memorization of a basic vocabulary;
- review of nominal and verbal morphology, as well as the morphology and use of the adjectives-pronouns;
- in connection with the review of the morphology, study of the basic syntactic structures (usage of subjunctive in main clause, fo the infinitive, of the participle, of the Gerundium and the Gerundivum, of the comparative and superlative adjectives...).
This review is base on the reading, the translation and the grammatical commentary of a work of a Classical Latin author (Nepos, Suetonius...) and on various exercises (morphology, syntax, translation, prose).
The course includes an introduction to the history of the Latin language, from the Indo-European languages to the Romance languages, and an initiation into the phonetics and into the phonology of the Classical Latin. |
