Seneca; trimester; long words; cretic words; prosaicnessAbstract
The study of the long final words confirms Jean Soubiran’s conclusions , very rare, these words have a semantic strength which is clearly related to the work of reminiscence carried out by Oedipus. The final cretic words have their own singularity too. Being rare but not as rare as the long words, they introduce a disturbance in the tragic speech which is metric but more specifically lexical as they are essentially prosaicness. That’s why they specifically associated to contexts of a high dramatic and moving tension.Downloads
