Description

A familiar theme in Greek philosophy, largely due to the influence of Plato's Cratylus, linguistic naturalism (the notion that linguistic facts, structures or behaviour are in some significant sense determined by nature) constitutes a major but under-studied area of Roman linguistic thought. Indeed, it holds significance not only for the history of linguistics but also for philosophy, stylistics, rhetoric and more. The chapters in this volume deal with a range of naturalist theories in a variety of authors including Cicero, Varro, Nigidius Figulus, Posidonius, and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. The result is a complex and multi-faceted picture of how language and nature were believed to interrelate in the classical Roman world. Book Description Presents the first collection of essays dedicated to Roman linguistic naturalism, a major but under-studied area of Roman linguistic thought. About the Author Giuseppe Pezzini is a lecturer in Latin at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. He was an assistant editor for The Oxford Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources (2012, 2013), and is working on an edition of Terence's Heauton Timorumenos for the Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries series.Barnaby Taylor is Fellow and Tutor in Classics at Exeter College, Oxford, and Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Oxford. His interests lie in Latin language and literature, particularly the language and linguistic thought of Lucretius.
