Learning unit contents
Intended for Erasmus students staying only one semester at ULiège, this course is devoted to a review or introduction to the essential concepts of Latin grammar, as well as to the reading of a selection of Latin texts, mainly from the Republican and Imperial periods, but also occasionally from later periods. These may be literary texts or documentary texts (epigraphic or papyrological). The course will include translation and grammatical analysis exercises. It will require memorization of basic vocabulary.
The aim of this course is to enable students to either translate Latin texts that have not yet been translated or to acquire the skills necessary to verify the accuracy of existing translations. In addition, it will aim to provide students who need it for their studies (mainly students of French and Romance languages and literature) with a basic understanding of the main phonetic, phonological, and morphological features of Latin.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Students must demonstrate their understanding of the Latin grammar concepts covered in class. They must be able to translate the texts studied in class and analyze and explain all the syntactic forms and structures used in these texts. They will demonstrate their knowledge of basic vocabulary and minimum skills in translating unknown Latin texts through translation exercises.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Knowledge of the basic structures of Latin and vocabulary covered in the Introduction to Latin course.
