Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to introduce the fundamentals of phonetics, morphology and Latin syntax. The course is addressed both to beginner students and to those who intend to consolidate previous knowledge. At the end of the course, the student will have acquired basic knowledge related to phonetics, the morphology of the parts of the phrase (e.g. noun, verb, etc.), the essential lexicon and the basic syntax of the Latin language. Moreover, the student will be able to make a morphological and syntactic analysis of Latin sentences and to identify the logical function and the semantic value of their elements. Lastly, the student will be able to acquire the first bases for a correct method of comprehension and translation of Latin sentences and simple texts.
