In Latin, particularly in Early Latin, sentences occur provided with “gnomic” value such as, for instance: Ars longa, vita brevis. Combining typological data and recent results of the comparative method within Indo-European (mainly Vedic an Lithuanian), there is solid evidence that this syntactic type, which is only residual in Latin, was in fact one of the oldest strategies Indo-European has at its disposal to express comparison.
In latino, soprattutto arcaico, esistono frasi di carattere per lo più gnomico del tipo “ars longa, vita brevis”. Combinando i dati della tipologia e della linguistica comparata all’interno della famiglia indeuropea (vedico e lituano), si trovano indizi sufficienti per supporre che questo antico tipo sintattico, residuale in latino, fosse un’antica strategia per esprimere il comparativo in indeuropeo.

Abstract
In Latin, particularly in Early Latin, sentences occur provided with “gnomic” value such as, for instance: Ars longa, vita brevis. Combining typological data and recent results of the comparative method within Indo-European (mainly Vedic an Lithuanian), there is solid evidence that this syntactic type, which is only residual in Latin, was in fact one of the oldest strategies Indo-European has at its disposal to express comparison.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
