Información sobre este eBook

The volume represents a cohesive yet multifaceted approach to themes, issues, and controversies concerning the role that Latin and Greek played in providing a template for the structural patterns and lexicon of the modern-day European languages. The authors engage in a careful examination of the evidence from the classical languages, tracing the origins of such structures as negation patterns from Latin, or request verbs from Greek.

At the same time, they provide valuable insight into the operation and motivation for change, in general.
