Excerpt from The Language of Parody: A Study in the Diction of AristophanesAs before said, if a word is found several times and always in parody, we may feel assured it does not belong to the Speech of every day life, but serves as a vehicle for the poet's humor. Unfortunately, this is only rarely the case - most of the following words occurring both in and outside of parody. This makes classification hard and uncertain in many instances. The sort of evidence to be used in classifying words may be indicated at this point. It consists in finding the answers to such questions as these: In what kind of metre is the word prevailingly found? What prose writers use it? What poets? How often In what way? Does it prevail in poetry or in prose? What characters in our plays use it? Or in addressing whom? Or in speaking of whom Was there any other word that could have been used Is it a favorite With any particular author? If a word is common in Euripides, we may feel sure that Aristophanes uses it for the purpose of parodying Euripides' diction, and so with Aischylos.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
