FIGURES OF SYNTAX. A Figure is a manner of speaking different from the ordinary and plain way, used for the sake of beauty or force. The figures of Syntax or Construction may be reduced to these three, Ellipsis, Pleonasm, and Hyperbăton. The two first respect the constituent parts of a sentence; the last respects only the arrangement of the words. 1. ELLIPSIS. ELLIPSIS is when one or more words are wanting to complete the sense; as, Aiunt, ferunt, dicunt, perhibent, scil. homines: Dic mihi, Damata, cujum pecus; that is, Dic (tu) mihi, Damata, (eum hominem) cujum pecus; (est hoc pecus.) Aberant bidui, sc. iter vel itinere. Decies sestertium, sc. centena millia. Quid multa? sc. dicam. Antiquum obtines, sc. morem, v. institutum, Plaut. Hodie in ludum occepi ire literarium, ternas jam scio, sc. literas, i. e. AMO, Id. Triduo abs te nullas acceperam, sc. literas, i. e. epistolam, Cic. Brevi dicam sc. sermone: So Complecti, respondere, &c. breve. Dii meliora, sc. faciant: Rhodum volo, inde Athenas, sc. ire, Id. Bellicum, v. classicum canere, sc. signum, Liv. Civica donatus, sc. coroná; So obsidionalem, muralem adeptus, &c. Id. Epistola librarii manu est, sc. scripta, Cic. When a conjunction is to be supplied, it is called AsYNDĕTON; as, Deus optimus maximus, sc. et; Sartum tectum, conservare, i. e. sartum et tectum; So Abiit, excessit, evasit, erupit, Cic. Ferte citi flammas, date vela, impellite remos, Virg. Velis nolis, sc. seu. To this figure may be reduced most of those irregularities in Syntax, as they are called, which are variously classed by grammarians, under the names of ENALLǎGE, i. e. the changing of words and their accidents, or the putting of one word for another; ANTIPTOSIS, i. e. the putting of one case for another; HELLENISM or GRÆCISM, i. e. imitating the construction of the Greeks; SvNěsis, i. e. referring the construction, not to the gender or number of the word, but to the sense, &c. thus, Samnitium duo millia cæsi, is, Duo millia (hominum) Samnitium (fuerunt homines) casi, Liv. So Servitia immemores, Liv. Monstrum quæ, scil. mulier, Hor. Scelus qui, sc. homo, Ter. Omnia Mercurio similis, scil. secundum, Virg. Missi magnis de rebus uterque, legati ; i. e. Missi legati (et) uterque (legatus missus) de magnis rebus, Horat. Servitia repudiabat cujus, scil. servitii, Sall. Cat. 51. Familia nostra, quorum, &c. sc. hominum, Sall. Concursus populi, mirantium, Liv. Illum ut vivat optant, for ut ille vivat, Ter. Populum late regem, for regnantem, Virg. Expediti militum, for milites; Classis stabat Rhegii, for ad Rhegium, Liv. Latium Capuaque agro multati, sc. homines, Id. Utraque formosæ, sc. mulieres, Ovid. Aperite aliquis ostium, Ter. Sensit delapsus, for delapsum, sc. se esse, Virg. When a writer frequently uses the Ellipsis, his style is said to be elliptical or concise. 2. PLEONASM. PLEONASM is when a word more is added than is absolutely necessary to express the sense; as, Video oculis, I see with my eyes; Sic ore locuta est; adest præsens : Nusquam gentium; vivere vitam; servire servitutem; Quid mihi Celsus agit? Fac me ut sciam, &c. Suo sibi gladio hunc jugulo, Ter. Suo sibi succo vivant, Plaut. When a conjunction is used apparently redundant, it is called POLYSYNDĕton; as, Una Eurusque Notusque ruunt, Virg. When that which is in reality one, is so expressed as if there were two, it is called HENDIADYS; as, Pateris libamus et auro, for aureis pateris, Virg. When several words are used to express one thing, it is called PERIPHRASIS; as, Urbs Troja, for Troja, Virg. Res voluptatem, for voluptates, Plaut. Usus purpurarum, for purpura ; Genus piscium, for pisces; Flores rosarum, for rosa, Hor. 3. HYPERBATON. HYPERBATON is the transgression of that order or arrangement of words which is commonly used in any language. It is chiefly to be met with among the poets. The various sorts into which it is divided, are, Anastrophe, Hysteron protěron, Hypallage, Synchesis, Tmesis, and Parenthesis. 1. ANASTROPHE is the inversion of words, or the placing of that word last which should be first; as, Italiam contra; His accensa super; Spemque metumque inter dubii; for contra Italiam, super his, inter spem, &c. Virg. Terram sol facit are, for arefacit, Lucret. 2. HYSTERON PROTERON is when that is put in the former part of the sentence, which, according to the sense, should be in the latter; as, Valet atque vivit, for vivit atque valet, Ter. 3. HYPALLǎGE is the exchanging of cases; as, Dare classibus austros, for dare classes austris, Virg. 4. SYNCHĕSIS is a confused and intricate arrangement of words; as, Saxa vocant Itali mediis quæ in fluctibus aras; for Quæ saxa in mediis fluctibus Itali vocant aras, Virg. This occurs particularly in violent passion; as, Per tibi ego hunc juro fortem castumque cruorem, Ovid. Fast. ii. 841. Per vos liberos atque parentes, sc. oro vos per liberos, &c. Sallust. Jug. 14. 5. TMESIS is the division of a compound word and the interposing of other words betwixt its parts; as, Septem subjecta trioni gens, for Septentrioni, Virg. Quæ meo cunque animo libitum est facere, for quæcunque, Ter. Quem sors dierum cunque dabit, lucro Appone, Horat. 6. PARENTHESIS is the inserting of a member into the body of a sentence, which is neither necessary to the sense, nor at all affects the construction; as, Tityre, dum redeo, (brevis est via,) pasce capellas, Virg. III. ANALYSIS AND TRANSLATION. The difficulty of translating either from English into Latin, or from Latin into English, arises in a great measure from the different arrangement of words which takes place in the two languages. In Latin the various terminations of nouns, and the inflection of adjectives and verbs, point out the relation of one word to another, in whatever order they are placed. But in English the agreement and government of words can only be determined from the particular part of the sentence in which they stand. Thus in Latin, we can either say, Alexander vicit Darium, or Darium vicit Alexander, or Alexander Darium vicit, or Darium Alexander vicit; and in each of these the sense is equally obvious: but in English, we can only say, Alexander conquered Darius. This variety of arrangement in Latin, gives it a great advantage over the English; not only in point of energy and vivacity of expression, but also in point of harmony. We sometimes, indeed, for the sake of variety and force, imitate in English the inversion of words which takes place in Latin; as, Him the Eternal hurl'd, Milton. Whom ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. But this is chiefly to be used in poetry. With regard to the proper order of words to be observed in translating from English into Latin, the only certain rule which can be given, is to imitate the CLASSICS. The order of words in sentences is said to be either simple or artificial; or, as it is otherwise expressed, either natural or oratorial. The Simple or Natural order is, when the words of a sentence are placed one after another, according to the natural order of syntax. Artificial or Oratorial order is, when words are so arranged, as to render them most striking, or most agreeable to the ear. All Latin writers use an arrangement of words, which appears to us more or less artificial, because different from our own, although to them it was as natural as ours is to us. In order, therefore, to render any Latin author into English, we must first reduce the words in Latin to the order of English, which is called the Analysis or Resolution of sentences. It is practice only that can teach one to do this with readiness. However, to a beginner, the observation of the following rule may be of advantage. Take first the words which serve to introduce the sentence, or show its dependence on what went before; next the nominative, together with the words which it agrees with or governs; then, the verb and adverbs joined with it; and lastly, the cases which the verb governs, together with the circumstances subjoined, to the end of the sentence; supplying through the whole the words which are understood. If the sentence is compound, it must be resolved into the several sentences of which it is made up; as, Vale igitur, mi Cicero, tibique persuade esse te quidem mihi carissimum; sed multo fore cariorem, si talibus monumentis præceptisque lætabère, Cic. Off. lib. 3. fin. Farewell then, my Cicero, and assure yourself that you are indeed very dear to me; but will be much dearer, if you shall take delight in such writings and instructions. This compound sentence may be resolved into these five simple sentences; 1. Igitur, mi (fili) Cicero, (tu) vale, 2 et (tu) persuade tibi (ipsi) te esse quidem (filium) carissimum mihi : 3. sed (tu persuade tibi ipsi te) fore (filium) cariorem (mihi in) multo (negotio, 4. si (tu) lætabere talibus monumentis, 5. et (si tu lætabere talibus) præceptis. 1. Fare (you) well then, my (son) Cicero, 2. and assure (you) yourself that you are indeed (a son) very dear to me; 3. but (assure you yourself that you) will be (a son) much dearer (to me) 4. if you shall take delight in such writings, 5. and (if you shall take delight in such) instructions. It may not be improper here to exemplify Analogical Analysis, as it is called, or the analysis of words, from the foregoing sentence, Vale igitur, &c. thus, Vale, scil. tu; Fare (thou) well, Second person singular of the imperative mood, active voice, from the neuter verb, Valeo, valui, valitum, valere, to be in health; of the second conjugation, not used in the passive. Vale agrees in the second person singular with the nominative tu, by the second rule of syntax. Igitur, then, therefore, a conjunction, importing some inference drawn from what went before. Mi, Voc. sing. masc. of the adjective pronoun, meus, -a, -um, my; derived from the substantive pronoun Ego, agreeing with Cicero, by Rule 1. Cicero, voc. sing. from the nominative Cicero, -ōnis, a proper noun of the third declension. El, and, a copulative conjunction, which connects the verb persuade with the verb vale, by Rule 28. We turn que into et because que never stands by itself. Persuade scil. tu, persuade thou, second person singular of the imperative active, from the verb persua-deo, si, sum, dere, to persuade; compounded of the preposition per, and suadeo, -si, -sum, to |
