"The Roman Pronunciation of Latin: Why We Use It and How to Use It" by Frances E. Lord is a scholarly guide addressing the specifics of Latin pronunciation, published in the late 19th century. The book explores why the Roman pronunciation is adopted and how to implement it, emphasizing its significance in appreciating the sounds of Latin, particularly in poetry. It serves as a compendium for teachers and students aiming to understand classical Latin pronunciation more effectively. The opening of this work introduces the rationale behind the Roman pronunciation of Latin, countering arguments against its theoretical and practical acquisition. Lord discusses the unique position of English-speaking individuals learning Latin, noting that English fails to replicate essential phonetic elements present in Latin, such as sound, accent, and quantity. The initial sections detail the nature of Latin phonetics, starting with the sounds of letters, including the articulation and quality of vowels and consonants, setting the stage for further exploration of Latin pronunciation and its cultural relevance.
