Haec fortis sequitur illam indocti possident: A linguistic analysis of demonstratives in genres【翻译】

Acknowledgments
I am forever indebted to the ceaseless effort of my advisor, Dr. Eric Acton, who accepted
me as an advisee though I had never been his student and had, in fact, not been anyone's student
for more than three years. Without his guidance and judgment, I am confident that I would never
have made it past my initial thesis proposal, and it should be a testament to his skill, patience,
and dedication that this thesis was completed.
I would also like to acknowledge my mother, who hand-delivered this thesis; my brother,
who sent me enough cat pictures to persevere through the thesis-writing process; and my
husband, who tackled copyediting, emotional support, and seltzer buying. Our family may be
small and, thanks to me, geographically spread, but I could not ask for better humans to share
genes and names with.
For continuing to engage my creativity, and allowing me to afford rent and food, I am
grateful for the community at NASA's Langley Research Center, in particular Lisa Le Vie,
Stephanie Harrison, Anna Trujillo, Kevin French, Michael Janov, Spencer Watza, Leonardo
Herrera, and the members of the Autonomy incubator.
Finally, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge those professors and peers who have
inspired me over the years, in particular Megan Grundtisch, Elyssa Winzeler, Emily Wilson,
Sarah Dreher, Terence Vogel, Matthew McGowan, Edith Foster, and the Paideia Institute. I hope
this thesis stands as a testament to their passion and compassion.

Abstract
This study examines the claim that demonstratives are used more frequently in Latin comedies
than in other genres (Karakasis, 2014; Palmer, 1975), as well as additional hypotheses regarding
the use of demonstratives within this language. To examine these claims, I created a corpus
composed of fragments of Early Latin authors of comedic, tragic, and non-dramatic works. I
examined demonstratives within this corpus for frequency, form, syntactic role, affective force,
co-occurrence with personal pronouns, and use in multimembral demonstrative sets. This study
provides the first quantitative evaluation of demonstrative use for often neglected authors of
Early Latin. It also identifies those theories regarding demonstrative use that have more support
within this time and suggests why these theories might hold true and how they might impact the
overall demonstrative count for comedy, tragedy, non-dramatic works, or Latin as a whole.
