Abstract/Summary

Ancient Greek was normally written without word division; Latin, which had originally used word division, gave it up c. AD 100. Nevertheless many bilingual texts written after that date use word division, and this piece explores the reasons for this practice. It is concluded that word division was added to make reading easier for language learners, who were the main users of bilingual texts.
