Latin vulgaire - latin tardif III

This collection features a diverse range of studies focusing on various aspects of vulgar Latin and its evolution into Romance languages. Contributions explore topics such as the use of vulgarisms and linguistic norms, the Latin suffix -osus and its approximate meanings in Romance, and the linguistic structures of spoken Greek in vulgar Latin contexts. Notable discussions include the peculiarities of Merovingian and Carolingian Latin, formal issues in scientific and technical vulgarization, and word formation in the works of Sulpicius Severus. The text examines intermediate language levels between classical Latin and proto-Romance, Greek-Latin language relationships in the Balkans, and graffiti from Graufesenque as evidence of Gallo-Latin under Nero. It also addresses the nominal morphology of Christian inscriptions in Africa, the placement of adverbs in vulgar and biblical Latin, and new impersonal verbs in late Latin influenced by Greek. Further insights include aspects of Merovingian Latin, the specificity of Romance languages, and the study of linguistic consciousness in Latin chronicles from the 6th to 8th centuries. The collection also delves into the irregular phonetic developments in vulgar Latin, the role of vulgar Latin elements in Horace's satires, and linguistic normalization in medieval Italy. Other contributions focus on the study of low Latin through philology, universal spoken language features in proto-Rom
