Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book comprehensively explores subjunctive substantive clauses developed from jussive verb forms in the extant plays and fragments of Plautus. The author argues that the Negative of the Volitive and Optative is nà (net, ni, nen, neve), whereas the Negative of the Subjunctive of Contingent Futurity and its developments is nan (nee, negue); and that the occurrence of the one or the other Negative calls for a precise explanation of the modal phenomenon via its development from either Volitive or Optative, or Subjunctive of Contingent Futurity. The author demonstrates how substantive clauses were derived from jussive, showing how they developed into final clauses and clauses of purpose, how they came to function with verbs of ordering, commanding, urging, and inducing, and how they also could be utilized in a negative sense through the inclusion of the negative elements nà and nan. The book positions the author's unique theory within the broader context of historical debate over the origin and development of the Latin subjunctive and its usages, as well as the relevance of parataxis in the development of subordinate clauses. The author's detailed research and analysis create a valuable resource for scholars and students of Latin linguistics, shedding new light on the intricate development of subjunctive substantive clauses in Plautus's works. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
