Overview

In his """"Latin Grammar"""", Dirk Panhuis has created an innovative reference that makes use of many of the advances that have taken place in linguistics during the last half century. Using a syntactic - instead of the traditional morphological - approach to Latin, Panhuis explains linguistic concepts clearly, thoroughly describing the structure of the sentence and its parts. For ease of use, Panhuis often presents concepts in well-organized tables and charts and provides the reader with illustrative texts by Latin authors. Through clear structuring of language phenomena, Panhuis provides a reference that integrates traditional linguistic knowledge with linguistic innovation and didactic clarity. Of particular interest will be sections on Word Order, Stylistics, Metrics, and Syntax and Semantics of sentences. This concise reference, ideal for students and instructors of Latin in high schools and colleges, will supplant the outdated grammars of Allen and Greenough and Hale and Buck.

Reviews

With this Latin grammar the author has produced the standard for linguistic study grammars, which will likely become the benchmark for subsequent grammars of Latin. --Kratylos --Kratylos (02/14/2012) In his Latin Grammar, Panhuis artfully integrates traditional description and modern analysis. It will provide intermediate and advancing Latin students mature help in understanding Latin syntax and offers material on the dynamics of text which is unique for an introductory reference tool. Not to be overlooked is its value as a resource to those who teach Latin. --Charles Elerick, Professor of Languages and Linguistics, University of Texas at El Paso-- (07/06/2006) This innovative grammar incorporates current viewpoints of syntax and semantics, making it a unique tool, especially for the study of sentence structure. --Philip Baldi, Professor of Linguistics and Classics, Pennsylvania State University --Philip Baldi (06/19/2006) Panhuis brings a very welcome linguistic orientation to the study of Latin, an approach not found in the older traditional grammars currently used at the college level. Among the features likely to prove most helpful for students is the presentation of information in clear and easily readable charts and grids, and the explanations accompanying the English translations, allowing students to see clearly how to render a Latin structure into English both literally and idiomatically. --Deborah Ross, Department of Classical Studies, University of Michigan -- (02/23/2006) With this Latin grammar the author has produced the standard for linguistic study grammars, which will likely become the benchmark for subsequent grammars of Latin. --Kratylos
