Abstract

Here some observations on some aspects of Jerome’s language in Commentary on Matthew: use of pronouns, variatio, subordination, anacolutha and infinite. The study proves that Jerome’s language possesses some morpho-syntactic irregularities of the Volkssprache, which can depend on the speed of the composition of the work and on the lack of revision of it.
