Research Abstract |
Though Latin is a language that belongs to the Indo-European (IE)family, its nominal morphology is remarkably simplified from the state reconstructed in Proto-Indo-European. However, by means of the comparison with the other IE languages, I succeeded in identifying some relics of an old morphological process, on the one hand, and on the other hand, clarifying the fact that a similar process arisen in Latin came to enjoy some productivity. Further, for a noun that stands for a Roman deity, I proposed a new historical scenario particularly developed within Latin, whereas it has often been treated from the IE standpoint.
