Using a syntactic--instead of the traditional morphological--approach to syntax, Panhuis explains linguistic concepts clearly, thoroughly describing the structure of the sentence and its parts. For ease of use, Panhuis often presents the theory in well-organized tables and charts, and provides the reader with illustrative texts by Latin authors.\u003cbr\u003eBack Cover \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough clear structuring of language phenomena, Panhuis provides a reference that integrates traditional linguistic knowledge with linguistic innovation and didactic clarity. This concise reference, ideal for students and instructors of Latin in high schools and colleges, will supplant the out-dated grammars of Allen \u0026amp; Greenough and Hale \u0026amp; Buck. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirk Panhuis\u003c\/b\u003e graduated in classical philology at the State University of Ghent, Belgium, in 1963 and obtained his PhD in linguistics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1981. He has been assistant and academic secretary of the Institut Supérieur Pédagogique in Kananga (Democratic Republic of Congo) and a teaching assistant at the University of Michigan. He taught classical languages in high schools of the Flemish Community in and around Louvain (Belgium) until his retirement in 2002. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"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.\"\u003cbr\u003eBack Cover continued\u003cbr\u003e--Deborah Ross, Department of Classical Studies, University of Michigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In his \u003ci\u003eLatin Grammar\u003c\/i\u003e, Panhuis artfully integrates traditional description and modern analysis.
