Language contact and Latinization in the Roman Empire

在这个研究项目中，我们讨论了古罗马帝国时期的语言交流，我们完全可以认为古罗马帝国是当今国际社会的雏形。此外，我们特别关注了帝国西部的“拉丁化”现象。许多本土语言（除了古典语言：古典希腊语和拉丁语），在我国的历史研究中几乎完全被忽视，在这项研究中被发现，这些语言的调查结果以各种可能的方式积极地传达给研究人员和学生，特别是在大学的课堂上。我们首次将法国南部La Graufesenque的陶器文献和英国Bath的诅咒碑引入我国学术界，是罗马帝国历史研究发展的重要资源，希望我们的贡献能够激发相关兴趣和后续的研究。

In this research programme, we have dealt with the language contacts in the Ancient Roman Empire, which we can fairly assume as a prototype of today's international community. In addition, especially we have focused on the phenomena ´Latinization' in the western part of the Empire. Many indigenous languages (other than the Classical Languages: Classical Greek and Latin), which have been almost totally ignored in historical researches in our country, have come to light in this research, and the results of the investigations of such languages are actively communicated to the researchers and students in every possible way, especially in the classes of the Universities. Pottery Documents from La Graufesenque in southern France and Curse Tablets from Bath in England, which are introduced by us for the first time into the academical field of our country, are very important sources for the development of historical research of Roman Empire, and we hope our contribution will stimulate relating interest and investigations subsequently.
