Abstract
The language of the Vindolanda writing tablets: an interim report
J N Adams
86 - 134
A study of the orthography, punctuation, morphology, word formation, syntax, vocabulary and style used in the tablets, combined with some sociolinguistic evidence. A general overview is presented of the Latinity of the tablets, giving particular attention to the variables which have contributed to the mixed character of the language. The author reviews the texts as a corpus of non-literary Latin composed during a relatively short period in or near a single outpost of the empire, and considers evidence that the authors were not of a uniform social or military status, including the likelihood that many of the soldiers were of `barbarian' origin.
