Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the phenomenon of metaplasm, a process by which loan words are transferred from their original declension into another one. The author meticulously examines how, over time, these words are further influenced by analogy, which either establishes new inflections or coexists with original forms. The book establishes the context for metaplasm within Indo-European languages before exploring how this process helped shape Latin's third declension system. Drawing on many examples, the author shows the range of metaplasm's effects on different case forms. Scholars of linguistics and Latin will value this detailed analysis for its insights into the evolution of languages and case systems. 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. print-on-demand item.…
