Constituent Order in Classical Latin Prose (Caesar, Cicero, and Sallust) presents the first systematic description of its constituent order from a pragmatic point of view. Apart from general characteristics of Latin constituent order, it discusses the ordering of the verb and its arguments in declarative, interrogative, and imperative sentences, as well as the ordering within noun phrases. It shows that the relationship of a constituent with its surrounding context and the communicative intention of the writer are the most reliable predictors of the order of constituents in a sentence or noun phrase. It differs from recent studies of Latin word order in its scope, its theoretical approach, and its attention to contextual information. The book is intended both for Latinists and for linguists working in the fields of the Romance languages and language typology. 410 0$aStudies in language companion series ;$v.117. 606 $aLatin language$xWord order 606 $aLatin language$xSemantics 615 0$aLatin language$xWord order. 615 0$aLatin language$xSemantics. 676 $a475 700 $aSpevak$b Olga$0522740 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139503203321 996 $aConstituent order in classical Latin prose$9825636 997 $aUNINA
