And what we do mean by \"expressiveness\"? This work, based upon a statistical and stylistical enquiry into Virgil's \u003cem\u003eAeneid\u003c\/em\u003e as well of other hexametric poetry, aims to answer these questions from an appropriate perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough offering a detailed analysis of selected passages, the author stresses the evident recurrence of the same figures in similar contexts and with the same stylistic effects. In this view, a rare word order as well as a relevant metrical and syntactical pattern appear to constitute a deviation from the norm stylistically motivated, that can highlight significant words or iconically stress the semantics of a passage. By combining the main notes on style from the \u003cem\u003eAeneid\u003c\/em\u003e commentaries and the stylistic readings also applied to modern texts, the author, with a clear approach, systematically discusses the various structures of Latin hexameter - enjambement, synaloepha, hiatus, four-word lines, name-lines, relevant juxtapositions etc. - in terms of \"effects\", showing how they interact and converge in the text. This introduction to Virgil's expressiveness aims to be an effective tool for a stylistic reading of any Latin hexametric text. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paolo Dainotti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110384221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110384222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.25w x 0.80d","brand":"Paolo Dainotti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46881174880511,"sku":"9783110384222","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f27119da-767a-41ca-ab6a-75ae6b3087a2.jpg?v=1747970901","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/word-order-and-expressiveness-in-paolo-dainotti-9783110384222","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
