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 book contains 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 \u003cem\u003eOxford Latin Dictionary\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eThesaurus Linguae Latinae\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis first volume focuses on the simple clause. It begins with an introduction to the sources used and to the approaches and conventions adopted, followed by a description of the basic grammatical concepts. Further chapters offer a thorough account of the features of the Latin simple clause, including verb frames, active vs passive mood, sentence type, negation, and the noun phrase, among many others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harm Pinkster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199283613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199283613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.10w x 2.40d","brand":"Harm Pinkster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48991641272575,"sku":"9780199283613","price":315.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oxford-latin-syntax-harm-pinkster-9780199283613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
