The Phonology of Classical Latin

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
