Un nuevo trímetro de Solón
No full textThe author of this paper identifies a yambic trimeter by Solon in a passage of Aristotle’s Athenaion Politeia. Although there is no literal quotation, the slight modifications Aristotle has introduced in it in order to adapt it to his prose do not prevent the establishment of the original text.No disponibl
Comentario a Varrón Ling. V 131-133. ¿Una clasificación poco rigurosa de las prendas de vestir, o un reflejo de la mentalidad indumentaria romana?
No full textThe author proposes a new interpretation of Varr. Ling. V 131-133. The analysis of spatial notions (extra/intus and supra/subter) and the order in which the passage is disposed allows us to see in it a reflection of the Roman clothing system.No disponibl
Pliny the Elder and Mucianus
No full textThe thirty-two fragments uniquely preserved by the elder Pliny from the writings of Vespasian’s famous general Licinius Mucianus on mirabilia and other things are analysed in detail for their content and language. Some deductions about Mucianus’ place of exile, the exact nature of his book, and Pliny's own use of it are at variance with those of other scholars, notably Syme. Pliny’s varying attitudes towards Mucianus in the NH are explained in terms of tensions between Mucianus and Titus, with this having some bearing on the circumstances and date of Pliny’s own book.No disponibl
Parodia, renuntiatio amicitiae y renuntiatio amoris en Catulo XI
No full textWe defend the thesis that Catullus XI directs his irony towards his addressees Furius and Aurelius. An internal analysis of this poem presents us with this irony. Moreover, besides ¡ irony there is also parody, which exacts a juxtaposition between two texts, the one which parodies —Catullus XI— and the parodied. Following D. Joly, we claim that the travelogue of vv. 1-12 parodies an offer that Catullus deems insincere from F. and A. to accompany him to distant lands. In the Roman Republic there was a social practice, the amicitia, that created the propositio amicitiae amongst other speech genres —a theoretical concept that we borrow from the Russian theorist Bakhtin—. This propositio was not always sincerely performed. Catullus’ answer to F. and A. is exaggerated, and parodic. Furthermore it’s well known that in Catullus’ epigrams love is often expressed in terms of amicitia: so, when he rejects parodically a false propositio amicitiae, is really making a renuntiatio amicitiae to F. and A.; and, if we assume that false friendship and betrayed love were very much alike to him, Catullus has not considered incongruent finishing the poem with his direct rejection of Lesbia’s love. In this way, a renuntiatio amoris is added to a parodic renuntiatio amicitiae, which strengthens the difficult unity of the poem.No disponibl
Odysseus «by any other/by no name» chez Polyphemos
No full textThesis: It is an accepted fact that name-games in Heroic Age Hebrew and Greek texts (archaic loci embedded in the long-redacted Biblical and Homeric texts) held veritable significance in the period when the respective actions occurred. When in Ex. 2: 22 Moses names his First Born Son «Gēršōm», «because I was a resident-alien in a Land-Not-Mine», the implicatum is gēr šām «resident alien there» and any reader, knowing Hebrew, would recognize this second level word-game, one very serious. On the other hand, the translations of the LXX, the Vulgata, and Targum Onqelos are superb in meaning (semantically), but make the name aetiogies in vain, for they don't concern themselves with struggling to bring them across, an essential part of translation. But we are not concerned with translations in such word-games, only with the Urtext. Nevertheless in the Urtext of Odysseia IX, the names which the protagonist gives his inhospitable host, are apparently unmotivated. The author proposes very strong double motivation for the one form, viz. Oútis, the alternate form Mḗtis being automatically generated grammatically. As opposed to the biblical exx., knowledge of languages beyond that of the Greek Urtext is required to understand the name-games involved.No disponibl
Towards an electronic Greek historical lexicon
No full textThe writer sets out for the first time the plans for the progression of the TLG project in the near future. In a first stage, the production of a «Greek Electronic Lexicon» is intended. This job will involve the lemmatization of all the forms included in the TLG Index and the morphological categorization of words. Consequently, it will become possible the grouping of words according to derivation and composition. Automatized access to the texts combining information on their date, authorship, genre, and morphological characteristics will give rise to new, unforeseen research subjects and perspectives. The semantic analysis of words is postponed for a later stage in the project.No disponibl
Estudios sobre la estructura del adverbio pronominal indoeuropeo
No full textThis paper is an analysis of the inner structure of Indoeuropean pronominal adverbs, including the simplest suffixed forms as well as compounds and derived forms; the authoress aims also at an elucidation of the syntagmatic relations of their constituents and a reconstruction of the different stages of their history from the point of view of word formation, morphonology and morphosyntax, in order to arrive at original systems sometimes showing a very different situation from the traditionally accepted.No disponibl
Relativas sin verbo y la función del relativo en latín
No full textIt is contended that relatives without a verb are a normal construction in Latin. Here one is not dealing with archaic syntagmas in which the relative has the value of a nominal determiner, as sustained by E. Benveniste. The function of such relative constructions is complex; our aim is to analyse their semantic content in semes and their syntactic value through opposition with other pronouns, quis, is and hic.No disponibl
