Mar. 3rd, 2011 08:37 pmErk. I think I'm going to ask my Latin teacher to make us do at least some parsing on our homework, because right now we only do parsing on our tests, which is frustrating and nerve-wracking and doesn't make that much sense to me? Like, if we were used to doing it in class and/or on our homework, sure, it's something we're familiar with, but right now we only do it on tests.
(My teacher also doesn't want to call it parsing, she wants to call it identification, which seems much less specific to me? I mean, hi, we've been parsing Latin for hundreds of years now! I don't know, I learned it (with my totally old school first Latin professor) as parsing, which I always thought was the standard term.)
