Talk:Classical Latin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What do "Golden Age" and "Silver Age" mean here? "Silver Age" in the article links to a page on comic books! Please check your links, people.

While the terms Golden Age and Silver Age persists (mostly in older publications and high schools), the accepted terms in the field are now Augustan and Post-Augustan. I propose that this page be reworked to reflect this fact. If there are no serious objections, I will do this after March 7, 2007. --Nefasdicere 19:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Botanical Latin

Anybody care to tackle the subject of "Botanical Latin", either here or in an article of its own? MrDarwin 15:23, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

We have an article about binomial nomenclature that generally discusses the "Latin names" or "scientific names" of living organisms; there isn't a great deal of info about Latin names or coinages there, and there isn't much there about grammar or syntax; however, there is some discussion of the coinage rules as they apply in English at classical compound. More recent usages of Latin generally are discussed at New Latin. Not sure what further information you seek. Smerdis of Tlön 15:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted merge request

Someone's been leaving merge links around and not arguing for the mergers. That's a bit annoying, people. UnDeadGoat 20:35, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Old or Classical?

Poor old Terence seems to have fallen into a gap between the articles on Old Latin and Classical Latin. So which is he? --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 09:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Was there interword separation in this era? -- Beland 18:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

I suggest merging Golden Age of Latin literature and Silver Age of Latin literature with this article, since: 1) They are both rather short 2) They are already largely duplicated in this article anyway. RandomCritic 13:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Merged. RandomCritic 16:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
