Description 1 online resource Series The language of classical literature, 25902709 ; 32 Summary "This volume collects papers on pragmatic perspectives on ancient theatre. Scholars working on literature, linguistics, and theatre will find interesting insights on verbal and non-verbal uses of language in ancient Greek and Roman Drama. Comedies and Tragedies spanning from 5th B.C.E. to 1st C.E. are investigated in terms of im/politeness, theory of mind, interpersonal pragmatics, and body language, to name some of the approaches which afford new interpretations of difficult textual passages or shed new light into nuances of characterisation, or possibilities of performance. Words, silence, gestures, do things, all the more so in dramatic dialogues on stage"-- Provided by publisher Notes Selected papers from a conference entitled, Doing Things with Words on Stage: Pragmatics and its Use in Ancient Drama, which was held at the University of Zurich from 4th to 7th July, 2018 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Classical drama -- History and criticism -- Congresses Language and languages in literature -- Congresses Theater -- Greece -- History -- To 500 -- Congresses Theater -- Rome -- History -- To 500 -- Congresses Pragmatics -- Congresses Gesture in literature -- Congresses Interpersonal communication -- Congresses Rhetoric, Ancient -- Congresses Speech acts (Linguistics) -- Congresses LITERARY CRITICISM / Medieval Classical drama Gesture in literature Interpersonal communication Language and languages in literature Rhetoric, Ancient Speech acts (Linguistics) Theater Greece Rome (Empire) Genre/Form Electronic books proceedings (reports) Conference papers and proceedings Criticism, interpretation, etc. History Conference papers and proceedings.
