Drawing on innovative work in cognitive linguistics and anthropology, Roman Social Imaginaries considers how metaphor, metonymy, analogy, and ideation helped create the structures of thought that shaped the Roman Empire as a political construct. Beginning in early Roman history, Ando shows how the expansion of the empire into new territories led the Romans to develop and exploit Latin's extraordinary capacity for abstraction. In this way, laws and institutions invented for use in a single Mediterranean city-state could be deployed across a remarkably heterogeneous empire. Lucid, insightful, and innovative, the essays in Roman Social Imaginaries constitute some of today's most original thinking about the power of language in the ancient world."-- From publisher's website.Robson classical lectures.Latin languageRomeRoman lawLanguageCognitive grammarRomeLanguagesPolitical aspectsRomeHistoryEmpire, 30 B.C.-284 A.DLatin languageRoman lawLanguage.Cognitive grammar.306.44/093763Ando Clifford, 255633DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910797156903321Roman Social Imaginaries3853810UNINA
