Revive Latin pronunciation with practical, classroom-tested guidance. This edition distills a long-running debate into clear, actionable instructions for teachers, students, and linguists. It presents a hands-on approach to Latin accent, quantity, and the rhythm of speech, with concrete exercises and discussions that aim to make Latin feel alive again.
Drawing on extensive teacher experience and classical authorities, the book outlines practical methods for training the ear and the tongue. It explains why traditional pronunciation lingers and how to implement a successful reform in schools or at home, while balancing theory with easy-to-use practice materials.
Readers will find structured guidance that starts from basic concepts and builds toward more complex rhythm and cadence, including how to read, pronounce, and hear Latin as it was spoken. The work is designed for serious students of Latin, classical teachers, and linguists who want reliable, implementable techniques.
Ideal for readers of classical grammar, philology, and language pedagogy who seek to bring Latin to life in themselves and in their students.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a practical guide to Latin pronunciation, sets out to teach readers the nuances of the language by focusing on syllabic length and pitch. It assists students in developing a rhythmic pronunciation through exercises and examples, and in doing so highlights the ways in which Latin pronunciation differs from its English counterpart. The author posits that the pronunciation of Latin taught in classrooms today is largely incorrect. They reason that by disregarding its inherent musicalityâ"as exemplified by Ciceroâ"Latin is reduced to mere gibberish. To remedy this, the author not only goes into great detail about the correct sounds and letter combinations but also provides a methodology for practicing them. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their understanding and pronunciation of Latin.
