It includes every type of construction, from the most common to the rarest, and was meticulously compiled from over 3000 examples found in Plautus and Terence's plays. The author uses these examples to illustrate the ways in which these two influential playwrights used questions to evoke different emotional responses from their audiences. Organized according to the part of speech of the word initiating the question, from 'ne' to 'an', the author employs a consistent structure to guide the reader through the intricacies of interrogative sentences in Latin. This book will be of interest to scholars of Latin grammar and syntax, as well as anyone interested in the history of language.
