College Board - AP Latin: Terminology lyrics

Terminology This section provides terms appropriate for the upper-intermediate level of study of Latin language and literature in a North American context and is intended to give students a shared vocabulary with which to describe the grammar, syntax, and literary style of the required Latin texts. The list attempts to avoid both highly specialized and very basic terms, and focuses instead on those that are most important for precise translation, comprehension, and literary an*lysis in the AP course. This list of terms is neither exclusive nor exhaustive, but rather is representative of the level of difficulty of the required Latin texts. Potential AP Exam questions may require students to demonstrate knowledge of the terms. The list does not include very basic grammar terms from first- and second-year Latin study (e.g., predicate nominative, direct object, temporal clause), nor does it include metrical terms already provided in the evidence statements of the Reading and Comprehending section. These basic terms, however, may also be tested on the AP Exam.
