Abstract

Summary

In 1993, Hoffmann published a study on the historical development of the term ‘periphrasis’ in grammars, which originally indicated a figure of speech, used for stylistic and rhetorical purposes. To date, Hoffmann’s article remains the only contribution to the question. In this paper, we further investigate the history of the morphosyntactic category of ‘periphrasis’, with special attention to practical grammars, which are not discussed by Hoffmann. The analysis of grammars dating from Antiquity to the Enlightenment confirms Hoffmann’s findings with additional data, and sheds new light on the metalinguistic development of the morphosyntactic category of ‘periphrasis’ over the centuries. From the late 15th to the 18th century, grammars, especially practical, of many European and non-European languages attest a notable terminological richness to indicate analytic constructions, understood as morphosyntactic categories (comparative and superlative, compound tenses). These grammars feature not only and , which are already found in the earlier tradition, but also the verb related to the latter, , , and language-specific expressions, such as in Spanish and Portuguese, and in French. Despite the development and persistence of the grammatical connotation of and analogous terms, ‘periphrasis’ also retains its original rhetorical usage throughout the Modern Age.
