second to the sixth century ad – sometimes copying them word for word (Bergmüller 1903: 3 defines him a ‘Kompilator ersten Ranges’) the other reason is that his texts contain, at least in Mommsen's (1882) edition, several late and substandard features as compared to the ‘good’ classical Latin, that is ‘the standard language in the late Republic and early Empire’. The first is that, since both his works are epitomes, Jordanes often employs large sections of previous authors – from the. Besides, the evaluation of his language and style has been since Mommsen an unfavourable one, for two reasons. INTRODUCTION Unlike some other authors of the sixth century ad, such as Cassiodorus, the historian Jordanes has received very little attention in modern scholarship. This chapter will focus on a traditional approach relaying on FE simulations, as it is anyhow very important at least in some of the phases of procedure development. Its implementation within an inverse analyses procedure will be discussed in the subsequent chapter. One of the possible solutions of this problem is based on POD-RBF algorithm described in Chap.

Therefore, a modern approach to inverse analyses goes in the direction of avoiding a need to perform FE simulations every time when the inverse problem needs to be solved. Given the required repeatability of the simulations enforced by the adopted optimization algorithm, this approach may not be the most convenient for the routine use, as it can be time consuming. It is classical, and the most common way of proceeding since nowadays there are well developed FE techniques at our disposal which can be used to simulate even complicated phenomena that may take place in a selected experiment. to the inverse analyses procedures, when structural problems are in focus, assumes that the simulation of the experiment is done by finite element modeling. Up to now we already saw that, for a successful development of fully operative inverse analysis procedure, it is required to put together three different elements: experimental technique, numerical simulation of it, and an optimization algorithm. Inverse analyses procedures in structural problems are usually designed in order to assess some of the unknown parameters. It also demonstrates how the Latin grammatical framework was applied for the description of Tamil verbs and discusses the Indian grammatical sources available to missionaries.Given that the present classification of Tamil verbs is based on the one offered by a missionary, Karl Friedrich Leberecht Graul (1814–1864), this study highlights how earlier missionaries’ descriptions contributed to the current classification. As such, taking into account the Western sources that missionaries used to compose and organise their descriptions, this paper focuses on both verb conjugations and paired verbs in Tamil. In the former, the action expressed by the verb is realised by an agent and affects a patient, whereas in the latter the consequences of the action fall on the subject who realises the action.This paper intends to analyse how missionaries described the verb system of Tamil which differed substantially from their own model of reference (Latin and Portuguese), and how they understood paired verbs, as defined above. Hence, using Paramasivam’s (1979) terminology, these kinds of verbs are paired verbs of which one is the affective and the other its effective counterpart. Tamil verb stems may be inclusive of a voice morpheme that encodes the degree of agency of the verb.
