Schiffrin, 1996; Risso et al., 1996). Realizam-se, freqüentemente, por usos não prototípicos de conjunções, preposições e interjeições. Suas propriedades têm sido encontradas em ocorrências discursivas análogas no latim. Caroline Kroon (1995, 1998) destacou um grupo de vocábulos latinos que pareciam conjugar as funções textuais-discursivas supramencionadas: nam, enim, igitur, ergo, autem, vero e at, desenvolvendo extensa pesquisa de seu funcionamento no texto. O objetivo central de nossa pesquisa é verificar nos textos de Donato (séc. IV d.C.) ¿ nas seções De coniunctione, De praepositione e De interiectione, contidos na sua Ars maior ¿ e Prisciano (séc. VI d.C.) ¿ nos livros XIV, parte do XV e XVI, de suas Institutiones grammaticae ¿, a maneira como são neles tratadas as propriedades hoje consideradas ¿textuais¿ e ¿pragmáticas¿, que permitem uma aproximação entre as antigas preposições, conjunções e interjeições latinas e o atual conceito de MDs / Abstract: Discourse markers (DMs) can be defined as a very wide range of verbal mechanisms (words, small clauses, crystallised expressions etc.) that play a role both on a pragmatic level, inscribing enunciation in discourse, and on a textual level, organising parts of the text cohesively (cf. Schiffrin, 1996; Risso et al., 1996). They are expressed by non-prototypical usages of conjunctions, prepositions and interjections. Their properties have been found in analogous discourse occurrencies in Latin. Caroline Kroon (1995, 1998) has developed an extensive research on a number of words that she considered having these same discourse and textual properties: nam, enim, igitur, ergo, autem, vero and at. The core objective of our research is to verify within Donatus¿s Ars maior (c. IV a.D) ¿ in the sections De coniunctione, De praepositione and De interiectione ¿ and Priscian¿s Institutiones grammaticae (c. VI a.D) ¿ in the books XIV, part of XV and XVI ¿ the way the properties considered nowadays as belonging to the ¿textual¿ and ¿pragmatic¿ domains, had been addressed by the Latin grammarians and allow us to make an approximation between the ancient concepts of Latin prepositions, conjunctions and interjections and the current concept of DMs / Mestrado / Mestre em Linguística

D.Litt. et Phil. (Latin) / The aim of this study is to establish the importance of the comparative and superlative degrees of the adjective in general, to evaluate the effectiveness of the comparatives and superlatives which Tacitus applies in his writings, and to ascertain what contribution they make to the individual texts and to the study of Tacitus' works as a whole. Conflict, contrast and comparison feature prominently in Tacitus' record and interpretation of historical events, and his portrayal of character. Conflict presupposes comparison and in this regard comparatives and superlatives may be considered indispensable elements of Tacitus' writings. His skill in applying these degrees of the adjective allows him to utilise them to the full, and, directly and indirectly, to record and interpret, inform and imply, enhance and enliven, compare and contrast, evoke and express, colour and persuade. The persuasive power that comparatives and superlatives possess may vary from negligible to significant and, consequently, they may be classified as neutral or loaded respectively. They fulfill both an intrinsic and contextual function, and an evaluation ~f their effectiveness can only be determined after consideration of both functions.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect on student performance and attitude toward high school Latin by Latin I students when provided with vocabulary instruction through chunking and imagery.
