My research is concerned with verbal and non-verbal behaviour during private quarrels in ancient Rome. It takes as a corpus Latin literary texts, which are investigated by means of a theoretical approach situated in the realm of im/politeness theories. The aim of the research is twofold: as first, to offer a linguistic description of the expressions occurring in this kind of conflictual communication; as second, to attempt a reconstruction of the behavioural code underpinning it.
La monografia offre il primo studio sistematico della lite in latino in prospettiva linguistica, applicando ai testi antichi i metodi d’analisi elaborati dagli studi sull’impoliteness. Con l’obiettivo di fornire una descrizione delle forme di espressione dell’aggressività verbale ricorrenti durante queste conversazioni conflittuali e di ricostruirne la percezione culturale, si sono esaminate le rappresentazioni di liti e le occorrenze del lessico della lite nelle fonti letterarie, delineando così l’etichetta di comportamento vigente in queste situazioni comunicative.

Abstract
My research is concerned with verbal and non-verbal behaviour during private quarrels in ancient Rome. It takes as a corpus Latin literary texts, which are investigated by means of a theoretical approach situated in the realm of im/politeness theories. The aim of the research is twofold: as first, to offer a linguistic description of the expressions occurring in this kind of conflictual communication; as second, to attempt a reconstruction of the behavioural code underpinning it.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
