The plays of Plautus have long been recognized as a unique mine of information about the spoken Latin of the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. But detailed and up-to-date linguistic treatments of the Plautine meters and other phenomena in his plays have hitherto been lacking. This book seeks to remedy that gap by presenting a series of case-studies to glean information about the synchronic grammar of Plautine Latin, in particular the rhythmic organization of Latin speech and the effects of syntactic processes on Latin prosodic phonology. Some of the topics, such as enjambement and the aphaeresis of "est", have never before received such treatment, while others, such as Meyer's and Luchs's laws, split resolutions, and iambic shortening, are provided a firmer linguistic footing, and fuller discussion of allied issues, than hitherto. Topics in Italic syntax (such as the syntactic structure of adpositional phrases and their history) and in Indo-European morphophonology (such as the prosodic status of finite verbs) are dealt with as well, as is an investigation into the effects of pragmatics on the rhythmic organization of phrases. The book will be of interest to classicists, comparative philologists, and general linguists.

Plautine Trends: Studies in Plautine Comedy and its Reception, a collective volume published as a Festschrift in honour of Prof. D. Raios (University of Ioannina), aims to contribute to the current, intense discussion on Plautine drama and engage with most of the topics which lie at the forefront of recent scholarship on 'literary Plautus'. 13 papers by experts on Roman Comedy address issues concerning a) the structure of Plautine plot in its social, historical and philosophical contexts, b) the interfaces between language and comic plot, and c) plot and language as signs of reception. Participants include (in alphabetical order): A. Augoustakis, R.R. Caston, D.M. Christenson, M. Fontaine, S. Frangoulidis, M. Hanses, E. Karakasis, D. Konstan, K. Kounaki-Philippides, S. Papaioannou, A. Sharrock, N.W. Slater, and J.T. Welsh. The papers of the volume are preceded by an introduction offering a review of the extensive literature on the subject in recent years and setting the volume in its critical context. The preface to the volume is written by R.L. Hunter. The book is intended for students or scholars working on or interested in Plautine Comedy and its reception.

Dieses Werk stellt die Publikationen des verstorbenen Wiener Klassischen Philologen auf dem Gebiet der Komödienforschung gesammelt zur Diskussion. Durch die Zusammenschau sämtlicher Publikationen, eines Vortrags und bislang nicht gedruckter Strukturpläne zu diesem Thema wird Primmers Suche nach Aufbauprinzipien der griechischen wie der römischen Komödie nachvollziehbar, die als Grundlage für seine unitarisch-analytische Forschung dienen sollte. Primmer’s Papers on the Structure of Action in the Nea and Palliata brings together the writings of the late Viennese classical philologist in the field of research on comedy. Reviewing the full corpus of his work on this topic makes it possible to track Primmer’s quest for structural principles in Greek and Roman comedy, which formed the foundation for his unitary analytic research.

Die Römische Tragödie der archaischen Epoche, der augusteischen Klassik und der frühen Kaiserzeit ist mit Ausnahme der Tragödien Senecas nur in zahlreichen Fragmenten erhalten. In über 30 Aufsätzen aus den Jahren 1972 bis 2014, von denen eine Reihe unpubliziert ist, zeigt der Verfasser, dass die politische Grundierung ein durchgehendes Charakteristikum der Römischen Tragödie ist. Die Sagen von den zahlreichen griechischen Helden, die seit Homers Zeit nach Italien kamen, lieferten dankbare Stoffe, um die römische Frühgeschichte aufzubessern. Diese aitiologischen Tendenzen verliehen der republikanischen und augusteischen Tragödie einen panegyrischen Grundzug. Es ist durch die politischen Verhältnisse der Kaiserzeit bedingt, dass die Panegyrik vielfach in Opposition umschlug. Weiterhin wird herausgestellt, dass aufgrund dieser Entwicklung Seneca aus stoischem Blickwinkel den Einzelnen in den Mittelpunkt rückte und einerseits seine Unfähigkeit zu einer disziplinierten Lebensweise, andererseits seine Fähigkeit, ein widriges Schicksal souverän zu meistern, zur Darstellung brachte. The collected papers in this volume, many of them previously unpublished, demonstrate the politcial character of Roman tragedy and show that, during the Imperial period, panegyrics often shifted to opposition.
