Descrizione: This article surveys the use of hyperbaton in prepositional phrases in Cicero’s orations. Expressions of the type qua de causa or magna in re are sometimes regarded as banal and have received comparatively little attention in previous scholarship on hyperbaton. In this study, based on over 4000 occurrences, I show that Cicero’s use of prepositional phrase hyperbaton is not random. Through a thorough examination of the data, specific features emerge as good predictors of hyperbaton. These include the preposition governing the noun phrase, the syntactic and semantic characteristics of both the noun and modifier, and how the prepositional phrase relates to the wider textual context.[Author]
