Why doesn't Latin have any articles (words for THE, A, AN in English), but the Romance languages do? Why does Latin have a word for the grammatical article, articulus , yet the language lacks this part of speech? How do articles develop? Why? Are all articles from the same source, or do they develop independently? Are all languages getting simpler and less sophisticated over time?
Are there no articles in Latin? Are articles used in Latin? Why do some languages not have articles? When did Latin develop articles?
In this video I will discuss these topics, and more!
