  • Nigidius Figulus’ Naturalism

    Open AccessAlessandro GarceaCHAPTERLanguage and Nature in the…2019

    ‘A frustratingly mysterious figure, though he was a friend of Cicero and praetor in 58’ (Rawson 1985: 94), Nigidius Figulus died in exile, in May or June 45, before Cicero could utter any oratio ad clementiam Caesaris in his favour. Nevertheless, in the extant beginning of his Timaeus (§1 = test. 9 Swoboda), Cicero included a vibrant eulogy of his friend, whose character well suited that of the Pythagorean Timaeus of Locri Epizephyrii. 1

  • Varron et la constitution des paradigmes flexionnels du latin

    Open AccessAlessandro GarceaARTICLEHistoire Épistémologie Langage2008Cited by: 1

    In book X of his De Lingua Latina, Varro conceived a mathematical model of Latin inflection. After taking into account the function of mathematics in Roman republican culture, we will show the relationship between this famous passage and the ancient mathematical literature. We will also study the indirect influence of the Varronian model – especially through the occurrences of the technical word formula that defines it – on late Latin grammarians

  • Gellius and Fronto on Loanwords and Literary Models

    Alessandro Garcea, Valeria LomantoCHAPTERThe worlds of Aulus Gellius2004

    This chapter considers the linguistic categories ‘Latin’, ‘Greek’, and ‘barbarian’, with particular reference to the debate in Gellius 19.13 over the status in Latin of the word, nanus (dwarf), thought barbarian by Fronto but proved Greek by Sulpicius Apollinaris. As such, it is admissible in Latin (where indeed it had been used by Helvius Cinna in relation to ponies); but even if not, use by Fronto would have conferred on it a higher standing th…

  • Varron et Priscien

    Open AccessAlessandro Garcea, Valeria LomantoARTICLEHistoire Épistémologie Langage2003References: 2

    After analysing the occurrences of the verbs adsignificare (loan translation of the Greek prossēmaínein) and consignificare (loan translation of sussēmaínein) in Varro’s and Priscien’s works, we will focus our attention on the structure of the systems of partes orationis formulated by these two authors. Different parameters are used: vericonditional (subject and predicate of a minimal assertive proposition), semantic (semantic / asemantic constit…

  • César et l’aphabet

    Dans une discussion sur •consonne double’, le grammairien latin Pompée (GL 5,108,7-13) insère deux citations, l’une appartenant au De analogia de César, l’autre au De antiquitate litterarum de Varron, sur les lettres de l’alphabet latin primitif. Varron distingue seize caractères anciens entre les vingt-trois employés à l’âge classique; César se borne à onze caractères primitifs. Cette dernière opinion a suscité la perplexité des éditeurs et des …
