Abstract

In this paper, we aim at examining a specific kind of comparison and contrast between Greek and Latin languages, carried out by Priscian in the Book XVII of his Institutiones grammaticae (6th century AD). We consider both the sociocultural context in which this treatise was composed to justify a presumed bilingualism, and the way syntactical strutures are compared and contrasted between Greek and Latin language. As an example we take the treatment given to the articles by Priscian.
