Final conclusions. 330 $aLanguages show variations according to the social class of speakers and Latin was no exception, as readers of Petronius are aware. The Romance languages have traditionally been regarded as developing out of a 'language of the common people' (Vulgar Latin), but studies of modern languages demonstrate that linguistic change does not merely come, in the social sense, 'from below'. There is change from above, as prestige usages work their way down the social scale, and change may also occur across the social classes. This book is a history of many of the developments undergone by the Latin language as it changed into Romance, demonstrating the varying social levels at which change was initiated. About thirty topics are dealt with, many of them more systematically than ever before. Discussions often start in the early Republic with Plautus, and the book is as much about the literary language as about informal varieties. 517 3 $aSocial Variation & the Latin Language 606 $aLatin language$xHistory 606 $aLatin language$xVariation 606 $aLatin language$xSocial aspects 606 $aLatin language$xInfluence on Romance 606 $aLatin language$xOrthography and spelling 606 $aLatin language$xGrammar 606 $aLatin language$xGrammar, Comparative$xRomance 606 $aRomance languages$xGrammar, Comparative$xLatin 606 $aLatin language, Vulgar 606 $aLatin philology 615 0$aLatin language$xHistory. 615 0$aLatin language$xVariation. 615 0$aLatin language$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aLatin language$xInfluence on Romance. 615 0$aLatin language$xOrthography and spelling. 615 0$aLatin language$xGrammar. 615 0$aLatin language$xGrammar, Comparative$xRomance. 615 0$aRomance languages$xGrammar, Comparative$xLatin. 615 0$aLatin language, Vulgar. 615 0$aLatin philology. 676 $a470/.9 686 $aLCO003000$2bisacsh 700 $aAdams$b J.
