Abstract

This innovative approach to Cicero's persuasive language analyses the style and structure of one of his important speeches in more detail than has ever been done before. It applies ideas from modern linguistics and explores the possibilities and limitations of quantitative analysis in the areas of syntax and vocabulary. The result is a reading of Pro Milone as a unified text, and a new methodology for using the study of language and style to illuminate literary/historical aspects of texts.
