“Adams’ Law” And The Placement Of Esse In Pliny The Younger, Thomas Keeline 2022 Washington University in St. Louis

“Adams’ Law” And The Placement Of Esse In Pliny The Younger, Thomas Keeline

New England Classical Journal

J. N. Adams showed that in Latin of the first century BCE, the verb esse does not necessarily gravitate to “second position” within a phrase; i.e., its placement is not in line with Jacob Wackernagel’s “law of enclitics.” Instead, esse tends to cliticize on—immediately follow—the focus of the phrase. By examining all instances of forms of esse in Plin. Ep. 1 and 10, I show that Adams’ observation still holds true ca. 100 CE. In a pedagogical epilogue, I offer some thoughts on the implications of such subtleties for the teaching and learning of Latin today.


De Sallustio Latine Praelegendo: Causae, Rationes Et Consilia Docendi, Jorge Tárrega Garrido 2022 University of Massachusetts, Boston

De Sallustio Latine Praelegendo: Causae, Rationes Et Consilia Docendi, Jorge Tárrega Garrido

New England Classical Journal

Multae sunt viae, multi modi quibus utentes possumus auctores rimari eosque discipulis nostris in scholis monstrare et aperire. Describuntur hac in symbola rationes Sallustii in Vniversitatibus studiorum praelegendi, subsidia didascalica ac exercitia varia, quae omnia sunt usu et tractatione coram discipulis a nobis probata. Praeterea significantur causae cur multum iuvet linguam Latinam per loquelam ipsam Latinam docere, et quae beneficia ex his rationibus capiant discipuli qui sermonis rudimenta iamdudum perdidicerunt atque se auctoribus legendis et excutiendis dederunt. Referuntur postremo et exempla probationum et summa percontationis, ad quam, cursu academico peracto, harum rationum non amplius expertes discipuli responderunt.

Putting On A Fronto: Persona And Patterns Of Language In Fronto’S Correspondence, Peter G. Barrios-Lech 2022 University of Massachusetts Boston

Putting On A Fronto: Persona And Patterns Of Language In Fronto’S Correspondence, Peter G. Barrios-Lech

New England Classical Journal

The subject of this chapter is the language of letters exchanged between Fronto and correspondents, specifically those linguistic means by which Fronto and his epistolary correspondents construct a persona and maintain and negotiate relationships. Analysis of the frequency of (Latin to Greek) code-switches, the diversity, or range of unique, address-terms, letter openings and closings used, and the type and frequency of requests show how Fronto’s relationship with Marcus Aurelius changes over time; and offer us one way to measure differences in Fronto’s epistolary relationship with the other correspondents.


On Teaching Sallust In Latin: The Why And The How, Jorge Tárrega Garrido 2022 University of Massachusetts, Boston

On Teaching Sallust In Latin: The Why And The How, Jorge Tárrega Garrido

New England Classical Journal

There exist many pedagogical methods we can use to examine, expound and explain ancient authors to our students. In this paper I propose an alternative approach to teach Sallust in an undergraduate setting, with explanatory aids, exercises, tests and quizzes. The latter result not from quick consideration, but from daily use and application in my own classes. In addition, I give reasons why it is helpful to teach Latin in Latin and what advantages it has for students who have learned well the grammar and have moved on to reading and analysis of the ancient texts. Students who had had …

The Fallacy And Verification Of Criticism On Contemporary Chinese Confessional Poetry, Lei Wei 2022 Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The Fallacy And Verification Of Criticism On Contemporary Chinese Confessional Poetry, Lei Wei

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Contemporary Chinese confessional poetry has engaged much academic attention despite its short existence between the 1980s and the 1990s. The confessional poetry has been related with female poetry by scholars since the beginning, and they have been criticized for lacking Chinese cultural characteristics, skills or aesthetic values etc.. However, contemporary Chinese confessional poetry is not exclusively the product of female poets, as there are quite a few male poets who created some fine confessional poems. Chinese confessional poetry of new period turned out to be embodied with a literary form of strong nationalistic features and contain rich elements of traditional …


Creolization And Romanity: The Continuities And Changes Of Roman Egypt., Travis M. Kaelin 2022 University of Louisville

Creolization And Romanity: The Continuities And Changes Of Roman Egypt., Travis M. Kaelin

College of Arts & Sciences Senior Theses

Past scholarship has analyzed Roman Egypt through the process of Romanization, but my research evaluates the province through creolization instead. The process of creolization is complex but affords indigenous populations more agency than terms like romanization. The thesis addresses the Egyptian and Greek continuities in language, religion, and way of life to display the extent of creolization. Analysis of Roman Egypt through the post-colonial lens better represents the changes that took place and the intent of the Roman principate. Much of the research derives from papyrological and archaeological sources to create a more nuanced understanding of what Roman Egypt looked …


Hekate Of Lagina: A Goddess Performing Her Civic Duty, Amanda Herring 2022 Loyola Marymount University

Hekate Of Lagina: A Goddess Performing Her Civic Duty, Amanda Herring

Art History Faculty Works

The Hellenistic Sanctuary of Hekate at Lagina represents the only site at which Hekate received state-sponsored cult at a monumental temple and a privileged place in the local pantheon. Elsewhere in Karia and the wider Greek world, Hekate was associated with magic and the underworld and received personal dedications at doorways and crossroads. This portrayal was echoed in art, where her character manifested in her triple-bodied form. Yet, at Lagina, part of the city of Stratonikeia, she was always represented with a single body. She was the focus of civic cult, in particular during the Hekatesia-Romaia festival, which celebrated the …

In Search Of The Pelasgians: Discursive Strategies And Greek Identities From The Archaic Period To The Roman Imperial Era, Tristn Lambright 2022 Jacksonville State University

In Search Of The Pelasgians: Discursive Strategies And Greek Identities From The Archaic Period To The Roman Imperial Era, Tristn Lambright

Theses

In ancient literature, the Pelasgians appear as an ambiguously defined and geographically ubiquitous primeval ethnic group or tribe. Various classical writers describe the Pelasgians as simultaneously pre-Hellenic and non-Hellenic –– ancestral and barbarian, chronologically earlier and essentially different. The ongoing ideological and rhetorical negotiations of Pelasgian identity in ancient literature played a critical role in discussions of Greekness –– discussions rooted in the distant past, informed by fluid and contradictory myths, and shaped by intellectual, social, and political transformations of the period. By contextualizing these discussions, this study attempts not simply a reconstruction of the mythological Pelasgians, but a reconstruction …


Leveraging Data Analytics To Study The Impacts Of State Budget Cuts On Public Higher Education Institutions In The United States, Praveen Kumar Guraja 2022 Indiana State University

Leveraging Data Analytics To Study The Impacts Of State Budget Cuts On Public Higher Education Institutions In The United States, Praveen Kumar Guraja

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Public higher education in the United States (US) is funded through two primary forms: one is through state higher education appropriation funds, and the other is student financial aid that is directly given to students. Increasing postsecondary full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment and graduation rate are becoming a crucial economic priority in the US. However, only a limited study is available about whether state investment in higher education and increasing tuition charges can impact FTE student enrollment (FTEE) and graduation rate (GR) at 4-year public universities in the US. A systematic literature review was conducted for the present research to comprehend …
