Relative clauses in Juridical Latin are strictly connected with the succession of subjunctive and indicative mood and with the use of demonstrative and determinative pronouns. Regarding the first point, we observed that the Opposition between indicative and subjunctive mood often expresses the Opposition ...
Elseline Vester Latin relative clauses and the notion of specificity* 1. Introduction In Latin, as in later Romance languages, relative clauses may have their predi-cates in the indicative or in the subjunctive mood. The difference is that the indicative (ind) is used in a normal relative ...
the proposal we will present the syntactic behavior of free relative clauses in Latin and German to lead the students to compare the three languages and identify the different constraints which can be at work. We will show that this method turns to be very ...
Accentual-syllabic verse gradually came to dominate by the late 1660s but there were other types as well: Classical quantitative verse, which had an impressive theoretical superstructure, Romance syllabic verse, also with a substantial body of theory, and the traditional stress-counting verse, such...

However, this definition just holds for some types of clauses, such as declarative clauses, since they have truth-value conditions, but not, for example, for interrogatives and exclamatives that do not have them. For this reason, I will consider negation as a complement-set operator (see ...

While the first volume explored the simple clause, this second volume focuses on the complex sentence and discourse. The first three chapters examine different types of subordinate clause; the following four then explore relative clauses, coordination, comparison, and secondary predicates. Laterchapters...
TeachingIn this work we would like to present a new teaching proposal for free relative clauses, with a comparative perspective. The proposal is addressed to Italian learners of Latin and German with an advanced knowledge of the morpho-syntax of the three languages and tries to combine the ...
Moreover, relative and demonstrative pronouns are exclusively found in an LEF-position in clause-initial ACs. These two observations give rise to a distinction between two types of LEF: pronoun fronting in initial ACs (LEF1) and XP-fronting in both initial and final ACs (LEF2).The syntax ...
