Learning outcomes
|
Through the basics of Latin grammar and syntax, to provide orientation in selected areas of practical use of the Latin language, especially in diplomacy and epigraphy based on written sources of predominantly Czech provenance from the 14th to 19th centuries. The aim is to understand the basic types of documents in the Latin language from this period (primarily charters, city books, registry records, inscriptions) and their correct translation into the Czech language. The course is therefore purely practical. The introductory introduction to the alphabet and phonetics is oriented towards understanding the specifics of pronunciation, syllabic quantity and accent in Latin. Latin, as a flexional language, necessarily requires the acquisition of a grammatical minimum (five declensions of nouns, four verb conjugations including deponents, pronominal and adjectival flexion, verb tenses), to which the general minimum of the lexicon can be linked and the specific vocabulary can be supplemented according to the diction of the sources.
The student is guided to understand and master the grammatical structure of the Latin language, which will enable him to correctly interpret simpler texts of a diplomatic and epigraphic nature. He will acquire basic lexical knowledge and knowledge of a number of syntactic phenomena typical of selected types of sources. He will gain awareness of the system of contractions and suspensions in diplomatic and epigraphic production. The aim is to achieve a basic level of skill in linguistically and factually correct translation of Latin texts and their interpretation in specific contexts.
