An Analysis of the Analogous Application of the Adverbial Affix
Alma wrote this paper in my final semester of Graduate School for a Linguistics Special Topics course, covering the History of the English Language.
Abstract:
During the mid-fourteenth century there was a shift from the Old English form of adverb creation to a new form that we recognize in the English we use today. This transition was hastened during the fifteenth century by the increase in creation of original English Literature. Further, the change was solidified in the late fifteenth century with the arrival of the printing press in England. This paper examines the shapes of seven adverbs that existed during the five generations that passed between Chaucer and the first published dictionary.

University of Dallas Latin in Rome Program
Studying Latin in high school became a popular thing to do, the year after Alma started. She had the benefit of small classes and having the same classmates year after year. Alma found that she was interested in far more than declensions and conjugating, the similarities and differences in language and the culture all proved so compelling that she later got a BA in Linguistics and wrote numerous papers on psycholinguistics.
It makes sense then, that Alma would apply for a program like University of Dallas’s Latin in Rome. She was accepted and participated during the Summer of 2003. During three weeks in Rome, Alma studied Latin and earned an A in University of Dallas course CLL 1305: Latin Grammar Review.
