atticism

The reactionary linguistic movement known as Atticism supported and enforced this scholarly tendency.

Atticism drew from Greece's rich past and originated in its illustrious city of Athens.

Consequently, it exhibits struggle for an Atticism characteristic of the period, whereby the resulting language is highly artificial.

Cicero addresses this claim by saying that he is too independent and bold to be associated with Atticism, producing his own unique style.

Some like Lucian were steeply into Atticism (an artificial purest movement favoring archaic expressions).

There were two different oratory styles of sophism that developed out of the period of enlightenment: Asianism and Atticism.

The learned registers employed grammatical and lexical forms in imitation of classical Attic Greek (Atticism).

Renaissance scholarship, the basis of modern scholarship in the west, nurtured strong Classical and Attic views, continuing Atticism for another four centuries.

In contrast, the other mode of rhetoric, Atticism, is explained by Philostratus as technique that is exemplified by the sophist Aelius Aristides.

Luzzatto was a warm defender of Biblical and Talmudical Judaism; and his strong opposition to philosophical Judaism (or "atticism" as he terms it) brought him many opponents among his contemporaries.

Although the plainer language of Atticism eventually became as belabored and ornate as the perorations it sought to replace, its original simplicity meant that it remained universally comprehensible throughout the Greek world.

Quintilian accepted Cicero's attitude towards Asianism and Atticism, and adapted the earlier debate's polemical language, in which objectionable style is called effeminate, in his own De causis corruptae eloquentiae.

Triphyllius received juridic training in the school at Beirut and was criticized by his teacher Saint Spyridon for his atticism and the use of legal vocabulary in favor of that of the bible.

Atticism prevailed from the 2nd century BC onward, controlling all subsequent Greek culture, so that the living form of the Greek language was obscured and only occasionally found expression in private documents and popular literature.

Cicero attempts to explain why his view of oratorical style reflects true Atticism and is better than that of the Roman Atticists "who would confine the orator to the simplicity and artlessness of the early Attic orators."

But when Koine Greek became a language of literature by the 1st century BC, some people distinguished it into two forms: written (Greek) as the literary post-classical form (which should never be confused with Atticism), and vernacular as the day to day spoken form.

The account differs from the contemporary history of John Anagnostes, who described Murad's sack of Thessalonica in 1430, chiefly in Cananus' frequent religious polemic, and in his willingness to write in the vernacular Greek, as opposed to the Atticism of Anagnostes and Critobulus.
