Lexical productivity in Early Modern Latin according to the Neulateinsche Wortliste. A quantitative study

Nordic Journal of Renaissance Studies 19 = Ipsissima verba: Essays in honour of Johann Ramminger (eds Giancarlo Abbamonte, Minna Skafte Jensen, Marianne Pade), 2022

Only words first attested after the Middle Ages were included in the analysis. The frequency of various groups of lexemes (word classes, morphological types, noun genders) and morphemes (derivational suffixes, prefixes, compound components) is displayed and occasionally compared to the entries in the Lewis & Short dictionary of Ancient Latin. The analysis has revealed which elements were favoured by the Renaissance authors and to what extent.

A paradox of the linguistic research of Neo–Latin. Symptoms and causes

These writings are very diverse, culturally relevant, and interesting for linguistic research. Yet, this is not reflected in the scholarly attention given to post-medieval Latin. The research dealing with it is neither systematic nor up to date with the modern theoretical and methodological advances in linguistics. As nearly all linguists interested in Latin limit their investigations to the classical and medieval periods, the vast bulk of the texts written in Latin is severely under-researched. In this paper it is argued that the marginal position of post-medieval Latin in the research is caused by the preservation of traditional paths of work and that it is not tenable on the grounds of valid scientific reasoning. First, a definition of Neo-Latin is presented and the quantity of its texts is compared to the size of the ancient Latin literature. Then, a quantitative meta-analysis of several major publications in the fields of Latin linguistics and Neo-Latin studies is performed in order to determine the presence of linguistic research of Neo-Latin in them. In the following section, some important reasons why it is under-represented are singled out and contextualised within linguistic methodology and the history of the classical studies. By questioning their validity, a case is made for a full and consistent integration of the linguistic research of Neo-Latin into Latin linguistics.

Getting help from a daughter: Linguistic methodology and early modern philology

Analecta Romana Instituti Danici, 2019

Philology and linguistics have been so closely related in their development that the nature of th... more Philology and linguistics have been so closely related in their development that the nature of their mutual relationship is by no means clear. Although modern linguistics originated from philological work – the fact that gave rise to the ‘mother–daughter’ metaphor figuring in my title – it has been established as a separate discipline, with an elaborate methodology, coherent internal division, and more or less clearly defined scope of interest. Philology, on the other hand, has found itself struggling with its own identity and place among the humanities. In the present paper, the example of the linguistic analysis of Early Modern Latin will be used to show how philology can profit from making use of linguistic methodology. We will consider an insufficiently explored way in which linguistics can be used to cast new light on old philological problems. This possibility is based on the fact that the relationship between language and its context of use is central to both philology and the branch of linguistics labelled pragmatics. We will see how in many cases the two fields disciplines talk about the same phenomena, but in differently structured ways and using various metalanguages. An example will be used to show how various contextual factors can boost a linguistic change and accordingly modify the range of uses that a word can have.

Artificial fusion: The curious case of Macaronic Latin

The main objective is to see whether and how it can be compared to various instances of linguistic structures originating from more than one source language. Design/Methodology/Approach: After a description of its historical background and sociolinguistic features, main linguistic traits of Macaronic Latin are sketched and, compared to other language contact phenomena, with particular reference to the fusion hypothesis. Data and Analysis: The main data for the analysis are sixty samples from macaronic works belonging to eleven language pairs. The analysis shows that mixed words in Macaronic Latin have properties of both borrowings and loans, being very similar to nonce formations. When compared to mixed and constructed languages, Macaronic Latin shows peculiarities that set it apart from either group. Findings/Conclusions: Although individual structural aspects of Macaronic Latin align its individual aspects with various outcomes of linguistic contact, the sociolinguistic pattern of its creation and later development make it a rather untypical case of linguistic mixing. Originality: Latin served as the main language of learned communication in medieval and early modern Europe; yet, this paper is the first study devoted to putting it in the context of mixed language debate. Significance/Implications: The study suggests that the preservation of the widespread use of a language with no native speakers requires sociolinguistic forces so strong so as to override many trends of what has been established as regular linguistic development. This implies that in investigating such cases we might need a modified research methodology and an extended terminology.

Verb conjugation selection in macaronic Latin: a corpus-based analysis

Lemmata linguistica Latina. Part I: Words and Sounds (eds Nigel Holmes, Marijke Ottink, Josine Schrickx, Maria Selig), Berlin; Boston: De Gruyter, 329–348., 2019

In macaronic Latin, a significant portion of the vocabulary is hybrid, generated by attaching Latin endings to lexical bases from several modern languages. In the present study we observe the frequencies of individual verb conjugations in a corpus of macaronic works and in a selection of ancient Latin texts. The results suggest a twofold conclusion. Firstly, the pattern of verb conjugation selection in hybrid verbs differs significantly from that in Latin verbs ; secondly, among the hybrid verbs, the selection preferences are affected by the morphonological properties of the language involved in combining with Latin.

Stubborn persistence at the outskirts of the West: Latin in nineteenth-century Croatia

Latin retained there until the mid-century a decided importance as a means of international communication, as a political instrument, as a medium of instruction, and as a literary language. However, Croatian tended towards more and more superseding Latin in its uses. As a result, Latin was hardly ever used outside Church and education in the second half of the century.

Riječ je o dvama omotima s ukupno 16 svezaka, nazvanima “Jezikoslovna djela” (9 svezaka) i “Vjerska djela” (7 svezaka). Materijal je godine 2008. u zagrebačkom Arhivu Hrvatske provincije Družbe Isusove pronašao provincijalni arhivar Valentin Miklobušec, koji je o otkriću obavijestio tadašnjega ličko-senjskoga biskupa, ujedno i crkvenoga povjesničara, Milu Bogovića. On je, pak, uvidjevši da se mahom radi o književnojezičnom sadržaju, proslijedio informaciju riječkoj Katedri za kroatistiku. Pomnije je proučavanje materijala pokazalo da se u raznolikom “jezikoslovnom” snopu između udžbenika matematike i gramatike hrvatskoga jezika našlo, pod oznakom A6, i nešto što je prepoznato kao opis latinske gramatike. Rezultat je prvoga iščitavanja toga snopčića tema ovoga rada. A teško je zamisliti prikladnije mjesto za njegovo objavljivanje od zbornika izdanoga u čast znanstvenice koja se uvrstila u niz najzaslužnijih proučavatelja Starčevićeva djela.

of linguistic varieties, there is a short supply of research into its linguistic diversification,
especially in non-literary texts. One of the characteristical text
classes within Neo-Latin tradition are canonical visitations, a special type of
ecclesiastical administrative texts, produced extensively after the Council of
Trent in all parts of Europe that had Roman Catholic hierarchical structures.
The present paper analyses the language of three canonical visitations written
in 18th century Diocese of Senj and Modruš (Krbava) and tries to recognise
linguistic peculiarities that could prove to be distinguishing properties
for canonical visitations and similar texts.

When Latin gets sick: mocking medical language in macaronic poetry

Proceedings from the International Conference The Language of Medicine – from Its Genesis to the Culture and Ethics of Communication, JAHR (Rijeka) 4 (2013), 31-54, 2013

Macaronic poetry is a curious cultural phenomenon, having originated in classical antiquity and t... more Macaronic poetry is a curious cultural phenomenon, having originated in classical antiquity and taken its standard form in the 15th century in northern Italy. Its basic feature is mixing of linguistic varieties for a humorous effect. In this paper, connections between macaronic poetry and the language of medicine have been observed at three levels. Firstly, starting with the idea of language as a living organism, in particular Latin (Renaissance language par excellence), its illness, from a humanist point of view, brought about by uncontrolled contamination with vernacular, serves as a stimulus for its parodying in macaronic poetry; this is carried out by systematically joining together stable, "healthy", classical material with inconsistent, "contagious" elements of the vernacular. Secondly, a macaronic satire of quackery, Bartolotti’s Macharonea medicinalis, one of the earliest macaronic poems, is analysed. Finally, linguistic expressions of anatomical and pathological matter in macaronic poetry are presented in some detail, as in, for example, the provision of a disproportionately high degree of scatological and obscene content in macaronic texts, as well as a copious supply of lively metaphors concerning the body, and parodical references to medical language that abound. Furthermore, anatomical representations and descriptions of pathological and pseudo-pathological conditions and medical procedures are reviewed as useful as displays of cultural matrices that are mirrored in language.

Budu}i da je latinski jezik znatniji svojim kulturnim statusom negoli osobitostima jezi~nih zna~ajki, priru~nici koji se njime bave redovito obuhva}aju relativno velike dijelove o njegovim dru{tvenim ulogama. Stoga je ova knjiga dobrodo{la kao jedan od rijetkih panoramskih (iako ne suvi{e detaljnih) prikaza latinskog jezika s lingvisti~koga gledi{ta. Njezine 634 stranice i respektabilna autorska postava najavljuju obilje probranih podataka potkrijepljenih najnovijim saznanjima, ~vrstom teorijskom podlogom i valjanim metodolo{kim polazi{tima.
