Abstract:
  • This discussion explores philological arguments on the status of obsolete words in the English language, particularly during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The focus is not the substance of these debates but, rather, the style of language which was employed in these spirited disputes. It was a style in which the full range of the rhetorical repertoire was reflected in metaphorical mirrors.
  • Articolul explorează argumente filologice asupra statutului cuvintelor desuete din limba engleză, cu precădere în secolul al XVIII-lea şi al XIX-lea. Nu subiectul acestor scrieri interesează acum ci mai degrabă stilul limbii în care au fost concepute. Era un stil în care spectrul repertoriului retoric se reflecta în oglinzi metaforice.
