The Substantives of Terence is a book written by Moses S. Slaughter, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the language used by the ancient Roman playwright Terence. The book focuses on the grammatical structure of Terence's plays, specifically the use of substantives, which are words that refer to people, places, or things. Slaughter's analysis is based on a close reading of Terence's texts, and he provides numerous examples to illustrate his points. He also draws on the work of other scholars to provide context and support for his arguments. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Terence's language. The first chapter provides an overview of Terence's life and work, while the second chapter discusses the role of substantives in his plays. Subsequent chapters delve into specific topics such as the use of proper names, the use of abstract nouns, and the use of gender in substantives. Slaughter also examines the relationship between substantives and other parts of speech, such as verbs and adjectives. Overall, The Substantives of Terence is an in-depth study of the language of one of the most important playwrights of ancient Rome. It will be of interest to scholars of classical literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of language and grammar.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
