Abstract:
There have been very many exciting books on Latin literature in the past six months; here is at least a small selection. J. N. Adams presents an impressive volume on asyndeton in Latin literature. Based on a thorough examination of different types of asyndeta, with a special focus on asyndeta bimembria (‘asyndeta with two members’), Adams discusses ‘grammatical’ and semantic types of asyndeta, as well as their characteristic structural patterns, followed by a discussion of genres and texts, from laws and prayers over asyndeta from texts of the early Republic to the Augustan period. For historiography, Tacitus’ Histories and Annals are included as well. In the course of his discussion, Adams debunks some long-held beliefs about Latin asyndeta, which, he shows, are not predominantly a feature of sacral or legal language, as has often been claimed. He also argues that asyndeton, rather than evoking speed or rapidity, may instead invite a reading that is slow and deliberate, with meaningful pauses between the individual words (that most famous Latin asyndeton, which is printed on the dust jacket and discussed on 77–8, veni, vidi, vici [‘I came, I saw, I conquered’], works very well as an example).

Abstract:
While asyndeton between finite clauses within the sentence may be considered a marginal construction, compared for example to coordination or subordination, it is more frequent in French than in English, in which it is limited with respect to genre. Particularly interesting examples, both quantitively and qualitively, can be found in French literature, notably in the fiction of Marguerite Duras, who made asyndeton her hallmark. This study documents the choices made by English translators of Duras, and of three other French writers who exploit asyndeton. Literature aside, asyndeton in French texts is not carried over into English, in what can be qualified as norm-governed translation. However, asyndeton in literary texts is carried over into English in up to fifty percent of cases, reflecting a certain compromise between norms in the source language and those in the target language. Apart from describing Duras’ specific use of asyndeton, and illustrating the difficulty of translating any element that is an essential ingredient of a writer’s style, which, by definition, represents a departure from an accepted norm, this study brings to light certain aspects governing clause combining in English. Certain linguistic parameters that favour the exploitation of asyndeton in English are systematised, specifically concision, rhythm and isotopy. Semantic, temporal and/or aspectual constraints are also highlighted.

Abstract:
This article delves into the significance of two distinct rhetorical devices, asyndeton and polysyndeton, within the realm of English prose. As syntactic tools, both devices manipulate the structure and rhythm of sentences to achieve specific effects, enhancing the overall impact of a written piece. Asyndeton involves the deliberate omission of conjunctions, whereas polysyndeton employs the excessive use of conjunctions. By examining various examples and analyzing the underlying mechanics of these devices, this study seeks to shed light on their distinct roles in crafting compelling prose.

Abstract:
This study was conducted to discover the rhetorical devices Elon Musk used when delivering Tesla promotional videos, namely the Tesla Unveils Model 3 and Tesla Semi & Roadster Unveil. This study also wants to examine the messages that are underscored by the use of rhetorical devices. In this study, the writer used Harris’ (2018) theory of rhetorical devices as the leading theory. The study was done by applying qualitative content analysis (QCA). The study showed that Elon Musk utilized climax, asyndeton, polysyndeton, sentential adverb, exemplum, amplification, anaphora, and hypophora in Tesla Unveils Model 3. Rhetorical devices such as climax, asyndeton, sentential adverb, exemplum, amplification, anaphora, and hypophora are found in Tesla Semi & Roadster Unveil. However, the data regarding polysyndeton is non-existent in Tesla Semi & Roadster Unveil. Each rhetorical device employed by Elon Musk helped underscore the messages in both videos. Ultimately, rhetorical devices affect the promotional video positively as they help amplify the meaning of the speech.

Full text
Abstract:
Kalphai, deltaepsilon, Tote, gammaalphap, ouv and asyndeton constitute a system of sentence conjunctions in the narrative framework of Matthew's Gospel, forming networks with other linguistic systems such as constituent order, thematization, verbal tense-form, and lexical choice. Using a database of the Gospel of Matthew developed for this research, relative frequencies of sentence conjunctions are quantitatively described and frequencies of collocations with other syntactical and lexical features in narrative sentences are discussed. This study argues that sentence conjunctions convey procedural rather than conceptual meaning, providing processing instructions rather than prepositional content and guiding the audience to construct and modify mental representations in discourse processing. Kai signals unmarked continuity (the unmarked condition in narrative). Kai tends to collocate with verb-subject constituent order, especially with a verb in thematic (first) position in the sentence. deltaepsilon is a signal of low- to midlevel discontinuity, commonly paired with a change in participant or a temporal shift. deltaepsilon tends to collocate with subject-verb constituent order, especially with a thematic subject. Asyndeton is used both at points of tight continuity in Matthew's narrative framework, specifically in speech margins with thematic present-tense lambdaegammaw, and also at higher- level narrative breaks, with non-verbal themes and shifters such as 'in that day/hour/time'. While deltaepsilon generally signals discontinuity within the narrated events themselves, ouv and gammaalphap signal, respectively, movement to and from the narrative line, guiding pragmatic inferences the audience makes as they integrate additional material into a mental representation of the discourse. ∫alphap introduces 'off-line' material confirming a preceding proposition. Ouv directs the audience to continue processing narrative events with a mental representation modified by the inclusion of preceding 'off-line' material. The study concludes with commentary on Matthew 8-9 based on descriptive models developed in the research, addressing both sentence-level and discourse-level functions of Kalphai, deltaepsilon, Tote, gammaalphap, ouv and asyndeton.

Abstract:
Little thought has been given to asyndeton in modern texts, including the translated text. In fact, if manuals on French-to-English translation even mention this troublesome case of punctuation, they almost certainly warn the student translator against replicating it in English, even in literary translation. Writing norms would forbid it, they warn. It would be taken as merely a sloppy case of comma use. Although asyndeton is typically considered a faux pas in English, replicating it may not always be a mistake. Inspired by Québécoise author Catherine Harton’s Traité des peaux (an especially asyndetic collection of short stories published in 2015), this thesis aims to study how asyndeton may be successfully translated from French into English in literary texts. To do so, it adopts Sperber and Wilson’s relevance theory, noting how this theory not only accounts for poetic effects but also provides a principle that can guide translators as they seek to replicate these effects. This thesis then uses relevance theory to analyze cases of asyndeton drawn from three stories in Harton’s collection. The study concludes that there are at least six cases where asyndeton may be effectively translated as asyndeton in literary texts.

Abstract:
Abstract While most Dravidian languages form conditional clauses using conditional participles or conjunctions, Brahui frequently employs asyndetic conditionals, which lack conditional participles, conjunctions, and a special pitch pattern. Our study of a Brahui corpus, which consists of novels and folktales, reveals that past, subjunctive, imperfect, and past conditional verbs appear in the protasis, each signalling different types of supposition. Since asyndeton is a normal way of expressing ‘and’ and ‘then’ in Brahui, the tense or mood of the verb in the protasis is the sole marker of the asyndetic conditional clauses, with conditional interpretation arising from pragmatic inference. This chapter also compares Brahui conditionals with those in two related Dravidian languages, Kuṛux and Malto, as well as Balochi. It highlights that asyndetic conditionals are found in languages that permit asyndeton and suggests the possibility that Brahui asyndetic conditionals have developed as an areal feature.

Abstract:
In the ancient Greek rhetorical tradition asyndeton is often discussed in connection with vivid and emotional language. The primary effects of this figure of speech are those of multiplication and rapidity in the first place. Both effects stem from the iconic character of paratactic sequences and from the cognitive effects that the absence of connectives determines in the comprehension of such linguistic constructions. These properties of asyndeton make it a suitable ‘ingredient’ to be combined with other rhetorical devices in order to induce a variety of psychological effects in the audience or readership of a text. Asyndeton is often presented as a ‘catalyst’ that merely enhances the effects of other figures, but in some cases its very presence is recognized as central to the rhetorical characterization of a passage. The rhetorical effectiveness of asyndeton is boosted by appropriate ‘dramatic’ recitation (hypokrisis), as Aristotle and Ps.-Demetrius observe, and could be lost in plain oral delivery or solitary reading. Unsurprisingly, Greek rhetoricians preferentially draw examples of asyndeton from performing genres. In such contexts, iconic language may effectively produce an immersive experience and, as a consequence, be a powerful instrument of persuasion.
