Adnominatio in the Plays of Plautus: With Special Reference to Questions of Pronunciation and Orthography (1906)

Edward Buckham Taylor Spencer

Adnominatio In The Plays Of Plautus: With Special Reference To Questions Of Pronunciation And Orthography (1906) is a scholarly work by Edward Buckham Taylor Spencer that explores the use of adnominatio, a rhetorical device that involves the repetition of similar sounding words, in the plays of Plautus. The book provides a detailed analysis of adnominatio in Plautus' works, with a focus on questions of pronunciation and orthography. Spencer examines the ways in which Plautus used adnominatio to create humor, emphasize certain words or ideas, and add complexity to his characters' speeches. The book is intended for scholars and students of classical literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of rhetoric and language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
