The Roman Pronunciation of Latin, written by Frances E. Lord, is a comprehensive guide to understanding the pronunciation of Latin as it was spoken in Rome during the time of the Roman Empire. The book provides a detailed analysis of the various sounds and accents used in the language, as well as the historical context in which they developed. The author begins by discussing the history of the Latin language and its evolution over time, including the various dialects that were spoken in different regions of the Roman Empire. She then delves into the specifics of Roman pronunciation, covering topics such as vowel and consonant sounds, accentuation, and intonation.Lord also provides a wealth of information on the practical applications of Roman pronunciation, including its use in poetry, music, and public speaking. She offers examples of how the language was spoken in various contexts, such as in the courtroom or during religious ceremonies.Overall, The Roman Pronunciation of Latin is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the nuances of this ancient language as it was spoken by the Romans. It is a valuable tool for scholars, students of Latin, and anyone interested in the history and culture of the Roman Empire.The grammarians speak of the obscure sound of I and U, short and unaccented in the middle of a word; so that in a number of words I and U were written indifferently, even by classic writers, as optimus or optumus, maximus or maxumus. This is but a simple and natural thing. The same obscurity occurs often in English, as, for instance, in words ending in able or ible. How easy, for instance, to confuse the sound and spelling in such words as detestable and digestible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
