Socially Determined Variation in Ancient Rome.
Joseph, Brian D.; Wallace, Rex E.
Language Variation and Change, v4 n1 p105-19 1992
Social implications of phonological and morphological variation in Classical Latin is examined. Arguments for the social factor are instances of hypercorrection, private and domestic instances of certain datives and Augustus' use of rural "domos" for "domus." It is understood in terms of the model of urbanization. (35 references) (Author/LB)
