Contaminare nel lessico intellettuale latino
2006-08-23T07:20:39Z
Abstract
The word contaminare and its derivatives seem to allude to concepts such as 'downgrading' and 'corruption', as demonstrated, among others, by Pietro Ferrarino. This is true even when the context in which the term is present concerns the intellectual and literary sphere. Even when taking into consideration the meaning of the term in relation to the activity of Terence, where contaminare may refer to various types of intervention on the patterns, it is always a form of failure, a 'desecration' of the Greek models.
