Course Description
Summer 2010 • Grade 7 and above • Latin Sequence
For reference only; see current year course listing for course availability and details.Theoretical Grammar
Sections and Teachers
Section 1: Instructor: Bruce McMenomy
Starts: June 15, 2010
Ends: August 10, 2010
Tuesday 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM ET
Tuition: $140.00
A combination of linguistics, grammar, and history especially for the student who will be coming anew to the study of Greek or Latin (or, for that matter, to the study of English grammar).
We will look systematically at the theoretical underpinnings of grammar in the western languages, introducing such issues as the eight parts of speech (all eleven of them); the parts of a sentence; the varieties of clauses and phrases; verbs and their implications (including person, number, tense, mood, voice, and aspect); the many ways of understanding "names"; verbal nouns and adjectives; why Greek doesn't have a gerund and Latin can't do as much with an infinitive; and a host of other slippery little details that give translators trouble.
This course is designed to complement the Practical Grammar course; the two can be taken together for an energetic overview of grammar in action in written prose; either can be taken separately for its own purposes.
Prerequisites
None.
Recommended background
Nothing is required.
Teacher's notes:
Students who have not encountered any foreign language should find that this helps them understand the basic concepts that will be at stake in Latin and Greek, as well as those they need to know for their own writing.
Textbooks and Materials
There are no textbook or materials currently required for this course.
Check instructor‘s notes above for additional information, or contact the instructor.
