The student will acquire notions on some aspects of phonetics, morphology and historical syntax, to arrive at an easier understanding of the structures and dynamics of the Latin language, also with regard to a better knowledge of Italian. Through the knowledge, albeit essential, of historical phonetics, the student will also acquire those notions of prosody, which constitute a necessary basis for the reading of prose texts and also for the study of Latin metrics.
