RESUMO

This thesis proposes that classical Latin can be analyzed as a non-configurational language and vulgar Latin as a configurational language, following Chomsky (1981), Hale (1983) and Baker (1996). We show that the main characteristics linked with non-configurationality and configurationality have been studied by seholars on Latin and philology, and we present what this tradition points out about the classical and vulgar Latin. 80, our work does not deny the traditional studies, but only proposes a new way of analyzing the data. We make a statistieal analyses about the main properties of non-configurationality in two fragments that typically represent classical and vulgar Latin: De Bello Gallico and Peregrinatio Aetheriae. Our results confirm the hypothesis of Latin classical non-configurationality and Latin vulgar configurationality and show quantitative and qualitative differenees that can be explained by the distinet nature of Noun Phrase in these two synchronies. We show that the same theoretical analysis proposed by Fukui (1986) to explain the Japanese syntax correctly predicts the quantitative and qualitative differences found in classical and vulgar Latin, on the assumption that the classical language does not have the functional category D. On the other side, in vulgar Latin we have D and the projection DP. We notice that vulgar Latin exhibits characteristics of both classical and vulgar language and in this case we have grammars in competition in the sense of Kroeh (1994)
