Abstract

Que « tout parle » en l'ouvrage de La Fontaine ne doit pas tromper sur ses intentions élégamment tournées en vers joueurs. Les fables (« choses de paroles », selon leur étymologie) sont des histoires de gueules ouvertes et de dents acérées, l'animal fût-il doté du propre de l'homme : le langage. Car la faculté de parler y rencontre le plaisir de manger, dont elle est le prolongement au bout de la langue. La raison du plus fort se donne les raisons de souiller l'innocence pure ; la parole arme la violence et la méchanceté qui séparent des autres. Langage et pouvoir font cause commune dans ces contes âpres, criblés de loups cruels, de seigneurs voraces ou de moucherons vengeurs qui ruinent tout espoir dans l'élan civilisateur du discours et dans le profit pacificateur de la rhétorique. Par l'articulation du pouvoir et de la parole, La Fontaine fouille l'étendue de nos désirs, parcourt par maintes voies éperdues le passage de la nature à la culture, l'État, le droit, marqués par l'exercice des forces. Il passe au tamis de son anthropologie négative l'homme dans son rapport hostile au monde qu'il parasite des bruits du conflit ; et il conclut à l'hypocrisie, au leurre des solutions politiques. Ce faisant, le fabuliste se demande pourquoi parler aux hommes qui n'entendent que leurs passions, et si même la fable ne serait pas, elle aussi, compromise avec le pouvoir. À quoi sert d'écrire ? À rien peut-être sinon à l'essentiel : se laisser prendre, sans abandonner la lucidité, au charme des fictions, à s'engager dans l'alternative de l'imagination.

Abstract

What is colloquial Latin? What can we learn about it from Roman literature, and how does an understanding of colloquial Latin enhance our appreciation of literature? This book sets out to answer such questions, beginning with examinations of how the term 'colloquial' has been used by linguists and by classicists (and how its Latin equivalents were used by the Romans) and continuing with exciting new research on colloquial language in a wide range of Latin authors. Each chapter is written by a leading expert in the relevant area, and the material presented includes new editions of several texts. The Introduction presents the first account in English of developments in the study of colloquial Latin over the last century, and throughout the book findings are presented in clear, lucid, and jargon-free language, making a major scholarly debate accessible to a broad range of students and non-specialists.

Abstract

This book, consisting of three self-contained studies, deals with the Euripidean messenger-speech. The first study concerns the form of the messenger-speech, which is that of a first-person narrative, and the consequences of this form. The second study analyses the messenger's style of presentation. In the third study the place and function of the messenger-speech within the play is discussed. Although scholars have dealt with the messenger-speech before, there is no single, up-to-date work of reference available. The present study aims at filling this void, while making use of analytical tools deriving from narratology and drama-theory. Eight appendices are added, which provide the reader with complete lists of phenomena discussed in the main text. Often considered transparent and self-explanatory, the messenger-speeches are now shown to be both complex and subtle texts.

Abstract

Realistic representation of the speech of the lower classes in ancient literature is largely confined to the comic genres, and Petronius' realism in this area is more thorough-going than that of any other ancient author. A vast scholarly literature has grown up around the question of how faithfully the speeches of Petronius' freedmen reflect characteristics of actual popular speech; this literature is reviewed and evaluated. A survey of the phonological, morphological, lexical, and syntactic peculiarities in these speeches is then undertaken, in which they are compared with other 'vulgar' Latin sources such as the Pompeian inscriptions; Petronius is in fact one of our most important early sources for the study of popular Latin. The way in which Petronius used specific varieties of non-standard Latin to characterize different freedmen speakers is explored: Petronius has subtly modulated his freedmen's speeches to reflect differing emotional states and the different attitudes of the speakers toward their social position. The present study is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject undertaken in over forty years in any language and the only one in English.
