Due to the structural differences that exist between both languages, this transfer occasionally led to categorial ‘frictions’, which in turn gave rise to metalinguistic or ‘metagrammatical’ observations of a specifically contrastive nature. As with the ‘optative’ and the ‘article’, this is also the case with the ‘dual number’. Greek inherited this marker for mostly ‘natural’ pairs from Proto-Indo- European, and could apply it to nouns, pronouns and verbs, designating it in grammatical description by the collocation δυϊκὸς ἀριθμός. Latin, by contrast, never possessed the dual number as a category in its own right, although it contained ‘formal relics’ of it, namely the numerals duo and ambō. In Latin grammaticography, these two forms (categorized either as ‘nouns’ or as ‘pronouns’) were evident candidates for being designated instances of the dualis numerus after the example of Greek. A second group frequently labelled ‘dual’ by Latin grammarians are those verb forms in -ēre (e.g. legēre) which are today known as ‘contracted’ or ‘syncopated’ alternatives (although they are actually primary from a historical point of view) for the third person plural past perfect tense in -ērunt (e.g. legērunt). This paper discusses the varied range of interpretations formulated by Latin grammarians up to the early Middle Ages with regard to these two groups of forms","PeriodicalId":43767,"journal":{"name":"GLOTTA-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR GRIECHISCHE UND LATEINISCHE SPRACHE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72558906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

T. Zielinski’s statistical study, published in 1925, is both much more extensive and detailed and better-informed metrically than those of his successors. In particular, he was able to formulate ten ‘laws’ relating to resolution, and to classify the plays chronologically in groups according to metrical style. His book is, however, hard to find and not easy to read, chiefly because of the out-dated terminology and the way in which it is used. The following paper consists of an abridged version, with some reorganization, corrections, additional figures and percentages. Further, I examine some of the ways in which admitting more resolution enabled Euripides to widen his vocabulary by comparison with Aeschylus and Sophocles.","PeriodicalId":43767,"journal":{"name":"GLOTTA-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR GRIECHISCHE UND LATEINISCHE SPRACHE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79339421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This theory can be confirmed in two contexts: similes, where the coexistence of present indicatives and augmented aorists can be explained only by considering the category of aspect, not the one of tense; and contexts involving the adjective νήπιος, which are here explained not only from a narrative viewpoint, but also by considering the major presence of augmented forms in them. The PIE augment seems to have been a deictic particle not compatible with present tense and it might have been initially used only with aorists and later extended to imperfects, as foregrounding is strongly related to perfectivity.","PeriodicalId":43767,"journal":{"name":"GLOTTA-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR GRIECHISCHE UND LATEINISCHE SPRACHE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84659448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different variables are included in the analysis: the social status of characters, their gender, the subtype of speech act, and the level of compliance implied in it. These variables, as well as an understanding of particular characters and the dramatic context, allow us to describe and explain the behaviour of esse in directives, providing evidence for cases in which verbs of this type behave like other predicates, and for circumstances in which they deviate from the general trend. A hierarchy of the most common and the most peculiar expressions is also proposed, focussing primarily on the distinction between subtypes of directives.","PeriodicalId":43767,"journal":{"name":"GLOTTA-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR GRIECHISCHE UND LATEINISCHE SPRACHE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85160167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is done in three steps: first, a corpus of forms with a metrically secure presence or absence of the augment is established based on metrical bridges and caesurae. Then, the forms without a secure augment are analysed and an attempt is made to determine the augment presence or absence in those forms via internal reconstruction and comparison. After establishing a corpus of forms with and without an augment, the article proceeds to analyse the use and absence of the augment, based on previous scholarship. The article will show that the function of the augment is determined by an interaction of different metrical, morphological, syntactic and semantic factors, and it confirms the augment as focus marker or emphasising tool for recent and new information.(1)","PeriodicalId":43767,"journal":{"name":"GLOTTA-ZEITSCHRIFT FUR GRIECHISCHE UND LATEINISCHE SPRACHE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78273158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
