Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV. ON THE FORCE OF TENSES IN THE PROHIBITIVE. In the American Journal of Philology, Vol. xv, No. 2, Elmer has discussed the force of tenses in the prohibitive. His conclusions were that the perfect subjunctive occurs in this idiom wherever special energy or emotion on the speaker's part is present, the present subjunctive in other cases. These conclusions seemed to me so plausible that I accepted them and incorporated them in my Latin Grammar ( 276); cf. Appendix, 358, 1, d. Three subsequent readings of Plautus, however, tended to shake my confidence in the validity of the theory, and prompted me to institute a fresh examination of the question for Plautus, in whose plays the construction is best represented.1 The results of this examination are here given. The investigation of this question is naturally a somewhat delicate one. Where the problem is to determine the presence or absence of "special emotion or excitement," no two persons would probably agree entirely in their judgment concerning the 135 instances of prohibitive expressions involved in this discussion. Most prohibitive expressions, whatever their form, naturally convey some emotion; a prohibition is itself the mark of emotion and excitement. Special emotion or excitement, I have taken to mean emotion or excitement distinctly recognizable as stronger than the ordinary type. When danger threatens, a prohibition prompted by fear of what is impending or by a desire to ward it off, seems to me naturally to convey special emotion. Similarly, eager haste, anxiety for the successful performance of a cherished plan, evident indignation or resentment, all are forms 1Plautus has 34 instances of the perfect tense, and 63 of the present tense in the prohibitive...

Louise Pound (1872 1958) was a distinguished literary scholar, renowned athlete, accomplished musician, and devoted women s sports advocate. She is perhaps best remembered for her groundbreaking work in the field of linguistics and folklore and for her role as the first woman president of the Modern Language Association. A member of a distinguished Nebraska family that included her brother, the prominent legal scholar Roscoe Pound, Louise completed her undergraduate education at the University of Nebraska. When American universities wouldn t admit her for graduate study, she went on to obtain a PhD in Heidelberg, Germany. She returned to the University of Nebraska Lincoln to teach in the English department for the next forty-five years. As a scholar Louise crusaded for the serious study of American English and founded the field s leading journal, demolished a powerfully defended approach to the study of American folk song, and fought tirelessly to open athletic and professional opportunities for women. She was, in short, what one admirer called a universal wonder. She befriended and played an influential role in the life of the young Willa Cather during Cather s years at the University of Nebraska; H. L. Mencken praised her extravagantly; and scholars of literature, folklore, and dialect studies elevated her to the presidency of their professional societies. Readers of varied interests will find her story compelling.
