The Oxford Latin Syntax
In this two-volume work, the first full-scale treatment of its kind in English, Harm Pinkster applies contemporary linguistic theories and the findings of traditional grammar to the study of Latin syntax. He takes a non-technical and principally descriptive approach, based on literary and non-literary texts dating from c.250 BC to c.450 AD. The volumes contain a wealth of examples to illustrate the grammatical phenomena under discussion, many of them from the works of Plautus and Cicero, alongside extensive references to other sources of examples such as the Oxford Latin Dictionary and the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae. 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. Later chapters investigate information structure and extraclausal expressions, word order, and discourse and related features. The Oxford Latin Syntax will be a valuable and up-to-date resource both for professional Latinists and all linguists with an interest in Classics.
The Cambridge Handbook of Historical Orthography
Written by a team of global scholars, this is the first Handbook covering the rapidly growing field of historical orthography. Comprehensive yet accessible, it is essential reading for academic researchers and students in the field, and in related areas such as morphology, syntax, historical linguistics, linguistic typology and sociolinguistics.
Diachronic Treebanks for Historical Linguistics
Over the last few decades, the widespread diffusion of digital technology has increased availability of primary textual sources, radically changing the everyday life of scholars in the humanities, who are now able to access, query and process a wealth of empirical evidence in ways not possible before. Also for ancient languages, corpora enhanced with increasingly complex layers of metalinguistic information, such as part-of-speech tagging and syntactic annotation (called 'treebanks') are now available. In particular, diachronic treebanks, which provide data for a language across several historical stages of a given language, allow for a new approach to diachronic studies of syntactic phenomena where scholars previously had to content themselves with empirical work on a much smaller scale. This volume brings together a set of papers that report research on various diachronic matters supported by evidence from diachronic treebanks. The contents of the papers cover a wide range of languages, including English, French, Russian, Old Church Slavonic, Latin and Ancient Greek. Originally published as special issue of Diachronica 35:3 (2018).
Subject Case in the Latin of Tuscan Charters of the 8th and 9th Centuries
The object of this study is the case marking of the subject in early medieval Latin. The study is based on a treebank of Latin charters from Italy. The purpose is to examine whether and how the nominative/accusative-type morphosyntactic alignment changed into a semantically-motivated (active/inactive) alignment in Late Latin before the disappearance of the case system. This kind of evolutionary development has been suggested by previous research. The study will be carried out by analysing the distributions of the two ayntactic cases, the nominative and the accusative.
Left-Dislocation in Latin
Based on a detailed analysis of syntax, information structure and pragmatic organization, Left-dislocation in Latin by Hilla Halla-Aho examines how left-dislocation is used in republican Latin comedy, prose and inscriptions as a device to introduce topics.

Taivasten valtakunnan avaimet
Mitä on rippi? Mitä on parannus? Mikä on ripin ja parannuksen suhde? Mikä on ripin ja kasteen suhde? Miten rippi liittyy taivasten valtakunnan avaimiin, jotka Kristus on antanut kirkolleen? Mitä tämä avaintenvalta pitää sisällään? Kuka käyttää avaimia, jokainen uskova, pappi vai hengellinen karismaatikko? Kuka antaa synnit anteeksi? Voiko kaikki synnit saada anteeksi? Minkä edellytysten täyttyessä synninpäästö voidaan julistaa? Mitä on kirkkokuri ja miten sitä tulisi harjoittaa? Voiko ihminen hyvittää syntejään? Voiko hän myötävaikuttaa pelastukseensa? Miten ihminen lopulta kestää pyhän Jumalan edessä viimeisellä tuomiolla ja pelastuu? Tässä muutamia niis...
Possession in Languages of Europe and North and Central Asia
This volume is a collection of articles dealing with the linguistic category of possession and its expression in languages spoken in Europe and North and Central Asia (Uralic, Turkic, Indo-European and Caucasian), with a few excursions into other parts of the world. Some papers engage in typological comparisons, both within and beyond the borders of individual language families focusing on issues of motivation; meaning and forms used in expressing possession; typology of belong constructions; marking possession in possessor chains; non-canonical possessives and their relation to the category of familiarity; metaphoric shifts of possessive semantics. Others focus on possession in individual languages, offering new precious pieces of information on the linguistic expression of possession in lesser known languages, some of which are endangered and even unwritten. The volume will be of interest to both general linguists and typologists as well as to experts/students of the individual languages or language families analyzed in the papers.
Memories of My Town
The volume Memories of my Town is an exploration into how town dwellers experience their environment in a complicated way .As people in urban milieus relate themselves to the environment, this takes place on many levels, where especially the time level becomes problematic. The urban buildings and settings can be looked upon as a kind of collective history, as carriers or witnesses of times past. But it is only the town dwellers that experience urban time itself, the time they live in, but through their memories also times past. In this past some elements take symbolicaly dense expressions. Through reliving and narrating their experiences the symbolically important factors in the this urban r...
