Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin Sentence Connection The study of the syntax of the verb in Latin has for the most part taken the form of a careful examination of coordination and subordination and of the development of the former into the latter by way of parataxis. The present investigation is an attempt to discover a more fundamental standpoint for the consideration of sentence relations, and to do away with the somewhat artificial distinction between coordinate and subordinate by means of a more thorough understanding of the nature and origin of each. It is based in part on my own complete collection from Tacitus of the instances of adjacent sentences not connected by conjunctions; in part on the results of a special study of Cato and Sallust and the younger Pliny entire, of some three hundred pages of Cicero and about the same amount of Seneca, of three books of Caesar, three of Livy, four of Quintilian, and four lives of Suetonius; in part on material drawn from casual reading. My collections include some fourteen thousand cases aside from many listed by citation but not actually taken off on cards. For Plautus and Terence I have made use of Bennett: Syntax of Early Latin, Morris: The Independent Subjunctive in Plautus, and the standard text books on Latin syntax. Citations are made from the latest editions of the Teubner texts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
