Dissertation Abstract:

This dissertation, devoted to hyperbaton in Latin, is divided into three 
chapters. The aim of chapter I is to examine the concept of hyperbaton 
used by Roman rhetoricians grammarians. It shows that this term is 
used in two distinct ways. Firstly, hyperbaton in the narrow sense 
covers anastrophe and transiectio, i.e. a discontinuous phrase, 
especially a discontinuous noun phrase. Secondly, Roman 
grammarians conceive hyperbaton in a broad sense for designating 
five types of inversion of word order. Furthermore, Julian of Toledo 
adds a type of “long hyperbaton”, i.e. long inserted parentheses. The 
first part of chapter II provides an overview of reflections about 
hyperbaton in philological and linguistic literature. Hyperbaton is 
traditionally regarded as a stylistic figure; however, Modern studies on 
this topic focus on pragmatic implication of the use of discontinuous 
phrases. The second part of chapter II presents the concept of framing 
and median field (sequence of inserted words), developed by German 
linguistics. Chapter III provides a typology of words inserted into a 
discontinuous noun phrase formed by a genitive and its head noun. 
Attention is paid to the order in which inserted elements are linearised. 
The research is based on a corpus of discontinuous noun phrases 
collected mainly in Caesar, Cicero, and Historia Augusta. The median 
field can be formed by various words or groups of words. Examples of 
median fields with two, three, and more words and their ordering are 
presented in synoptic tables.
