PREFACE
The influence of the study of linguistics upon the presentation of
teaching materials in modern -language textbooks cannot be denied .
And, as was to be expected , the study of Latin, too, has felt the impact
of linguistic studies. Teachers and students are no longer surprised
at the changes that have come about in the materials they find in the
more recent Latin texts, especially those for first and second years .
As with every science, the study of linguistics has created a new
terminology and many of the terms now appearing in textbooks require
considerable study before they are adequately understood. New , too,
is the analysis of forms and the categories to which they are assigned.
This text will, however, eliminate as much as possible all reference
to the new technical terms and will retain traditional terminology . The
materials for study, though, will be presented in a way that will make
use of some of the contributions of linguistics to the study of language.
The objectives of teaching Latin remain still to be clearly deter
mined . Speaking Latin is not our goal, as it is for the study of modern
languages. Yet a moderate use of speaking Latin is a very reliable
tool for arriving at an automatic reaction to given language situations .
Hence this text will rely upon much oral presentation, particularly in
the readings and in the oral drills. The writing of exercises is kept to
a minimum .
The title of the text suggests the goal that has been set for this text
and toward which all the activities outlined in this volume are directed
reading Latin and understanding it as it is read. Reading Latin does
not mean the skill of instantaneous translation but rather an ability to
understand directly from the Latin what has been said.
In pursuit of this goal the text strives to bring students to an under
standing of the Latin by varied exercises . These include the changing
of one Latin construction into another without changing the meaning;
meeting vocabulary in context; understanding questions that use con
structions which differ from those in the text that has been read; and
the answering of questions in Latin .
