Latin as a cultural Identity: a central European Case.

Summary/Abstract: Central Europe entered in the sphere of Christian and Latin Civilization later than the Western part of thecontinent. As a result, the new members of this community had to import most of their ‘cultural goods’, but theimports were in a relatively short time recognized as their ‘own’. This general process can be testified to bythe stage plays. The use of Latin lasted in Central Europe much longer than in Western Europe and coexistedwith the native languages, including in the theatrical output. The theatrical output is significant in this respectas it presents, among other sources, the mutual relationship that existed between Latin and the native language.
