Disciplines and areas of study
Latin
Program Coordinator: Mr Antonio Pagliaro (Italian Program).
Latin is basic to the evolution of Romance languages and to the development of linguistic theories about grammar. Many disciplines, especially for research purposes, may require a reading knowledge of Latin. It is often necessary in art history, European history, music, and religious studies to be able to read documents, inscriptions and so on in Latin.
The aim of this discipline is to introduce the classical language and to develop reading skills in a wide variety of texts, from the classical through to the Renaissance periods. Presently only first year Latin is available, taught co-operatively by staff from Italian and other programs.
