Language Choice, Expectation, and the Roman Notion of Style.
Smith, Craig R.; Prince, Paul
Communication Education, v39 n1 p63-74 Jan 1990
Describe the Roman concepts of "decorum" and "ornatus." Analyzes a speech from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," showing how these concepts advance plot, deepen character, and create expectations. Demonstrates how these concepts are useful in the criticism of American public address by applying them to Ronald Reagan's eulogy for the Challenger crew. (MM)
