Los vocativos metafóricos en las comedias de Plauto
Abstract
in the present article we approach the study of the metaphorical vocatives, those which in plautine comedy do not refer to the real identity of the listener but they attribute a metaphorical identity to him. We try to answer three questions that, in fact, construct our analysis: what forms are used? (§2), which of the speakers really creates the metaphor of the identity? (§3) and, finally, when the speakers use a metaphorical vocative, which are the motivations, the goals and the effects of this issue? (§4) Pragmatics and Conversation Analysis provide us the theoretical framework in which we find the answers to the questions above.Downloads
