Artes Latinae DVD/CD-ROM Format
Students can learn an ancient language via modern technology through
Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers' DVD/CD-ROM version 2.0 of Artes Latinae.
Designed by Dr. Jeffrey Lyon, based on Dr. Waldo Sweet's original,
the DVD/CD-ROM version incorporates text, graphics and sound into a
computer accessible format. At the click of an icon, students can
choose one of three pronunciations: Dr. Robert Sonkowsky and Dr.
Barbara Sonkowsky using the Restored Classical; Nancy Llewellyn
and Dr. Clarence Miller using the Continental/Ecclesiastical; or
Dr. Waldo Sweet's original.
- Restored Classical — Our most current evidence points
to the Restored Classical pronunciation as the most accurate sound
of classical Latin. This pronunciation is distinguished by the
nasalization of a word's final vowel when it is followed by 'm.'
- Continental/Ecclesiastical — This pronunciation is commonly
encountered in liturgy, music lyrics, and Christian, Medieval
and Neo-Latin texts.
- American Scholastic — a classical pronunciation. Waldo E. Sweet's
original cassette recordings have been digitized for the CD-ROM
format. this is the default pronunciation for Artes Latinae.
