Resumen
ARTEAGA CONDE, Evelia. Lexical Antonymy in the Attic Funerary Epigrams from the 4th Century B. C. Nova tellus [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.1, pp.87-105. Epub 05-Mayo-2021. ISSN 0185-3058. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2021.39.1.27545.
In this text, various kinds of lexical antonymy in some funerary epigrams from the 4th century B.C. will be analyzed with the intent of showing that this kind of opposition was an essential resource for developing their own style. The analysis of these lexical antonymies will be divided in two fields (without implying these two to be the only ones to present them): when what the deceased did and left in this life is highlighted; and when there is emphasis in some subject of the afterlife. This analysis will show that such oppositions depict ways of conceiving existence and behaving in it.
