Offering a gripping narrative of language change, Solodow charts Latin's course from classical times to the modern era, with focus on the first millennium of the Common Era. Though the Romance languages evolved directly from Latin, Solodow shows how every important feature of Latin's evolution is also reflected in English. His story includes scores of intriguing etymologies, along with many concrete examples of texts, studies, scholars, anecdotes, and historical events; observations on language; and more. Written with crystalline clarity, this book tells the story of the Romance languages for the general reader and to illustrate so amply Latin's many-sided survival in English as well.Latin languageHistoryLatin languageInfluence on RomanceLatin languageInfluence on EnglishRomance languagesHistoryLatin languageHistory.Latin languageInfluence on Romance.Latin languageInfluence on English.Romance languagesHistory.470.918.45bcl18.22bcl18.04bclSolodow Joseph B476711MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910511507103321Latin alive245136UNINA
