This document discusses the interface between research and teaching in classical languages. It begins by citing scholars' views on Latin composition and grammar. It then covers research on linguistics approaches like generative grammar, sociolinguistics, and multilingualism applied to ancient languages. Several quotes are provided about why students struggle with Latin and how it was a language used by "lunatics." The remainder summarizes research on topics like etymology, reading, word order, functional grammar, and systemic functional grammar that have implications for how classical languages can be taught effectively. Research findings on verb forms and conditionals are discussed as examples of how linguistic research could influence pedagogy.
