Note 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.
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.
