This work is a comprehensive corpus-based description of the synchronic segmental phonology of Classical Latin.

 



Provides a full description of the phonology of a dead language and also highlights how the patterns and processes described contribute to phonological theory
Research results include novel analyses of segmental phenomena, phonotactics, phonological processes, inflectional morphology, and certain diachronic questions
Informed by specific hypotheses about how phonological representations are structured and how phonological rules work, and in turn how the findings corroborate these hypotheses
Theoretically grounded and provides raw material for researchers of phonology, morphology and historical linguistics
