- Title
Copular clause classification in Latin.
- Authors
Bortolussi, Bernard
- Abstract
Starting from Higgins's taxonomy, this paper investigates Latin copular constructions and in particular the existence of "specificational" copular clauses. Morphosyntactic and semantic criteria are put forward in order to make clear the status of copular clauses such as Hic est danista (Plaut. Epid. 621).
