Bilingualism and the Latin Language Book

This is the first book to deal systematically with problems of communication in the Roman world, in which numerous languages apart from Latin and Greek were spoken. How did the Romans communicate with their subjects in the remoter parts of the Empire? What linguistic policies, if any, did they pursue? Differing forms of bilingualism developed, which had a significant effect on the way both the Romans and their subjects thought, spoke and wrote. Over a dozen languages are considered, and a wide range of cultural, historical and linguistic questions addressed.Read More
