This paper deals with the use of verbal prefixes as a stylistic device in Augustine's Confessions. It mainly focuses on the preverbs con- and in-, which occur in passages concerning human and divine friendship, in order to point out the contextual values - either concrete/spatial or abstract/functional - they are endowed with in different contexts. The impression we get from this survey is that the plasticity of preverbs may serve the purpose of intensifying the meaning.

Abstract
This paper deals with the use of verbal prefixes as a stylistic device in Augustine's Confessions. It mainly focuses on the preverbs con- and in-, which occur in passages concerning human and divine friendship, in order to point out the contextual values - either concrete/spatial or abstract/functional - they are endowed with in different contexts. The impression we get from this survey is that the plasticity of preverbs may serve the purpose of intensifying the meaning.File in questo prodotto:
